They also conduct independent food hygiene and health and safety audits at our client sites; these are recorded on their SFS Hub portal which allows us to update and have a clear visibility on any required actions. Their auditors are knowledgeable, friendly and above all very professional.Â
Recently we have introduced the Telsen digital platform which includes automatic temperature monitoring via fridge sensors and Bluetooth probes. This was introduced to us by SFS, and the relationship between the two companies is fantastic as they understand the systems and what we are trying to achieve, thus providing us an even greater eye for analysis and support, as and when it is needed. I would recommend Safer Food Scores to any food business, as their knowledge and professionalism has consistently supported Fooditude to maintain high safety standards.”

– Hotel Proprietor – Food hygiene audits and scores on the doors advice
“All credit belongs to you for turning me from the food-safety-knowledge-deficient person you met on Monday into the food-safety-exam-passing person that walked out of your classroom this afternoon! Seriously though, excellent food safety course, well done! Take care and may see you in 3 years time for the next one?”
