Does SafeTap replace the paper SFBB folder?

Yes. SafeTap is a digital replacement for the FSA Safer Food, Better Business pack. Your daily diary, safe-method checks, Prove It temperature records and 4-weekly review all live in the app — accepted by Environmental Health Officers.

Will it help my Food Hygiene Rating?

Completing your checks every day demonstrates a working food-safety management system — one of the three things an EHO scores. Good, complete records support a higher rating (0–5 scale).

Does it cover allergens and Natasha’s Law?

Yes. SafeTap tracks all 14 regulated allergens and prompts you to update allergen information whenever your menu or ingredients change.

Compliance

Safer Food, Better Business — without the paperwork

UK food law requires every food business to run a food-safety management system and keep daily records. The Food Standards Agency’s Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) pack is the most common way to do it. SafeTap is that whole pack, turned into a few daily taps.

What SafeTap replaces

The paper daily diary

Opening and closing checks, problems and your daily sign-off — all timestamped automatically.

Prove It temperature records

Every temperature you log is a Prove It record, with automatic pass or fail against the legal target.

Safe-method checklists

Pre-built checks for your business type — cooking, chilling, cleaning, cross-contamination and management.

The 4-weekly review

A guided monthly review that flags repeated problems, training gaps and overdue probe calibration.

The five safe-method sections, covered

SFBB organises food safety into five areas. SafeTap builds checks for every one.

Management

Opening & closing checks, allergens, training, suppliers, stock and product recall.

Cooking

Safe cooking and reheating temperatures, hot holding, ready-to-eat food and acrylamide.

Chilling

Fridge and freezer temperatures, chilling hot food, defrosting and freezing.

Cleaning

Handwashing, cloths, the two-stage clean and your cleaning schedule.

Cross-contamination

Separating raw and ready-to-eat food, personal hygiene, pest control and allergens.

Aim for a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating

After an inspection, your council gives a rating from 0 to 5. Complete, honest records are one of the three things assessed — and exactly what SafeTap produces.

Natasha’s Law requires accurate allergen information. SafeTap tracks the 14 UK regulated allergens and prompts an update whenever your menu or ingredients change.

Inspection-ready, every day

New food businesses must register with their local Environmental Health Team at least 28 days before opening. From day one, SafeTap keeps the records that prove you’re doing things right.
