Healthy food award scheme

About the award

The Introduction of the Health Act in 2006 has meant that many enclosed workplaces and businesses are now required to be completely smoke-free.  This includes catering businesses, which were previously assessed for the Healthy Food award on levels of smoke-free environment within their businesses.

It is therefore proposed that the scheme be nutrition led.  Catering businesses have recently been asked their opinions regarding a joint hygiene and nutrition scheme. 

The proposed scheme will comprise of care settings such as:

  • Nurseries
  • Day centres
  • Elderly person's homes. 

The catering sector will comprise of businesses such as:

  • Takeaway food businesses
  • Restaurants
  • Sandwich shops
  • Bakeries.

The first stage of the revised scheme for care settings will centre around early years settings such as children's centres.  Assessments will take place later in 2008. 

Qualifying conditions

Qualifying conditions needed for receipt of the Award can only be judged at the time of inspection. The possession of the Award does not guarantee subsequent standards.

  • Restaurants
  • Cafes
