To ensure the safety of your staff and customers, you should carry out due diligence on any food processing machine you are considering purchasing. Firstly, check that the manufacturer is using appropriate methods to meet regulatory standards – do they provide certificates of compliance or risk assessments? You should also contact the Food Standards Agency to confirm that they are aware of the production process and have not issued any warnings relating to its use. Additionally, investigate whether sufficient measures have been put in place for routine cleaning and maintenance for each piece of equipment and make sure it has passed inspection checks by authorized personnel.

It is important to perform proper due diligence when considering the use of any new food processing machine, especially one that will be used to process food for public consumption. One of the most effective ways to determine if a machine meets local and international food safety regulations is by contacting the manufacturer and seeing if they offer documentation verifying conformance. Additionally, if possible it may be beneficial to have an expert in sanitary design or food equipment evaluation assess the system before purchase to ensure that it meets relevant standards.
