Your FAQ

Question: Can I run a food business from my home?

Answer: Yes you can, but if you are handling or preparing food at home as a commercial business, your premises and business operation must comply with food safety legislation. This may require structural alterations to your domestic kitchen. Food poisoning is a miserable and potentially dangerous experience and it is your responsibility to make sure that your food does not make anybody ill.
