If you are providing food on a regular and organised basis, or are setting up a food bank or a community operation, you may need to register with us. This can include preparing or donating meals for individuals, community groups and local organisations.
As an existing food business you are required to contact your local authority to update them on any significant change in food activities being carried out at your premises.
Examples of a significant change would be:
- a registered cake maker now preparing meals
- a registered food bank, which previously distributed prepacked low-risk foods, now distributing higher-risk foods such as peeled vegetables and prepared foods
