Register your food business - childminders

All food businesses need to be registered before starting any food operations.

The law requires that food business operators must register their establishments (each separate unit of their food business that carries out any of the stages of production, processing and distribution of food) with the appropriate local authority at least 28 days before commencing food operations.

The legal requirement to register is found in Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs.

If you are handling food you must register.

If in doubt about whether or not to register please contact: susan.brew@swansea.gov.uk
