We offer comprehensive food safety audits that help you stay ahead of your next hygiene inspection. Our audits cover two core areas:

- Health & Safety – A professional review of your business’s safety setup, including identifying potential risks and how you manage them.

Audits delivered by former EHOs
Our consultants are former Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) who know exactly how enforcement works, and audit to gold standard criteria that goes further than legislation.
The result? Clients who spot problems before an EHO does, reducing the risk of closures, poor hygiene ratings, and reputational damage, while walking into every inspection with confidence.

How our Food Safety and Health & Safety audits work
Your audit is scheduled
For new clients, your first audit is announced so your team can prepare. For ongoing clients, dates are agreed with a senior contact but generally kept unannounced at site level, mirroring how EHO visits work.
A consultant visits your site(s)
Your auditor arrives on-site and carries out a thorough inspection covering Food Safety, Health & Safety, hygiene controls, fire safety elements and allergen requirements — everything an EHO would check, and more, in a single visit.
Your findings are presented
Your auditor walks through results with your team on the day, including your estimated Food Hygiene Rating. All actions are logged in Alert65, and your auditor is there to support your every step of the way.

Built for every type of food business
Jorge is an excellent auditor who takes away the ‘fear factor’ and intensity of the situation. He was professional but kind and spent a moment to introduce himself to the wider team…”

Food Safety and Health & Safety audit FAQs
Save valuable time and money
What is a food safety audit and what does it involve?
A food safety audit is a thorough, on-site inspection of your food handling, storage, preparation, and hygiene practices, assessed against current UK legislation and industry best practice. A Food Alert auditor will visit your premises, review your documentation, speak with your team, and produce a detailed written report with prioritised actions. It’s designed to give you a clear picture of where you stand and exactly what needs to change.
How is a Food Alert audit different from an EHO inspection?
Our audits are designed to be more rigorous than a standard Environmental Health Officer (EHO) visit. We assess against gold-standard criteria, so any issues are identified and addressed before enforcement does. Think of it as a practice run with expert guidance, rather than a pass-or-fail inspection, giving you confidence and significantly reducing the risk of a poor hygiene rating.
How often should my business have a food safety audit?
Most businesses benefit from at least one audit per year, though higher-risk environments such as care homes, hospitals, or high-volume kitchens, may benefit from more frequent visits. The right frequency depends on your operation, your current compliance status, and any recent changes to your team or processes. Two audits per year are included in our Compliance Membership.
What happens after the audit — how do I act on the findings?
You’ll receive a detailed report within 48 hours, outlining every finding with clear, prioritised recommendations. Our auditors don’t just hand over a document and leave, we’re available to help you work through every action point. Clients on our Compliance Membership also get ongoing support to maintain standards between audits.
