Spotlight on our environmental health officers in action In January 2017, Re’s Environmental Health Officers (EHO) undertook a planned food hygiene visit at a restaurant in the N14 area of Barnet. This was a first visit of a new business that had been registered with us by the owner. The layout of the new kitchen was very good in terms of hygienic food preparation. The EHO suggested improving signage in the raw food preparation areas to alert staff to the risks of cross contamination of bacteria on ready to eat foods. Best practice advice was given on food allergies and intolerances, avoiding cross-contamination and using appropriate food labelling. As a result of the changes being implemented, the restaurant was awarded the maximum score of 5 in the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. Food Safety in catering Everyone who works with food has a responsibility for safeguarding the health of customers to ensure the food they serve or sell is safe to eat. Our accredited courses are delivered by practising Environmental Health Officers and on passing the course exam we will issue you with a certificate of achievement from an accredited body. Whether food is being produced, prepared, cooked, served or stored, we can provide you and your employees with a range of training courses and qualifications at a variety of levels.
