Food Safety & Sanitation Plans

Introduction

Sections 23 and 24 of the Food Premises Regulation require operators of B.C. food service establishments and food processing facilities to develop, maintain and follow a written food safety plan and a sanitation plan that must be submitted to and be approved by your local health authority.

How do you meet these requirements?

If you do not have a food safety plan or sanitation plan, the tools on the left can help you write your food safety plan or sanitation plan. These tools include workbooks, examples, and videos.

If you already have a written food safety plan and sanitation plan, check to make sure they meet sections 23 and 24 of the Food Premises Regulation.

Once you feel your written food safety plan and sanitation plan meet the requirements, send them to your environmental health officer at your local health authority for approval.
