Food Waste & Used Cooking Oil: Rules for Food Businesses

Kitchens, cafés, pubs and shops produce food waste and used cooking oil every day. This course explains the hygiene rules for storing waste, the ban on feeding catering waste to animals, safe disposal of cooking oil, your duty of care for business waste, and the Simpler Recycling rules that require workplaces in England to separate food waste – with notes on Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

This course provides general awareness of food waste and cooking oil rules. Check with your local authority, waste collector and the relevant environment agency for requirements that apply to your premises.
