BSI Catering Certification Criteria is a user-friendly standard with clear and concise requirements to give your catering or foodservice business a framework to manage food safety risks. It has everything that you need to do and nothing that you don’t, with foodservice rather than manufacturing language. This standard is ideal for cook-fresh businesses that prepare food for immediate consumption including;
- Caterers (on-site or mobile)
- Restaurants
- Hotel kitchens
- Hospital kitchens
- Care facility kitchens
- Schools and universities
- Food trucks
Certification to this standard demonstrates your commitment to a preventive hazard and risk based food safety management system with the added benefits of:
- Recognition for implementation of a food safety management system based on globally recognized HACCP and ISO based food safety programs
- Regulatory compliance which is fundamental to comply with local food safety legislation
- Providing a systematic methodology to effectively identify and manage food safety risks from process interactions which are especially relevant for foods that are cooked and served for immediate consumption
- Improved employee engagement through increased awareness of food risks and promotion of safety
- Showing your commitment to food safety, providing confidence to your customers

Appropriate
The BSI Catering Certification Criteria has been developed internally by a specialized BSI team of food safety auditors and risk and compliance specialists to provide audit criteria that meet current food industry expectations. Certification criteria are regularly revised to ensure that this standard remains current to reflect industry best practice. It’s based on the fundamentals of food safety risk assessment and incorporates management system concepts to ensure control and consistency in food safety and quality.
Cost effective
Industry recognized and accepted certification reduces the need for and expense of duplicate audits. Audits are completed by local BSI-trained and approved auditors to enable an internationally accepted standard to be audited at local rates.
