Setting up a food bank, food aid charity or provider
Guidance for starting a charity food provider.
If your operation is classed as a food business, it needs to follow the same principles that apply to other food businesses.
This includes following rules on your:
- premises

- equipment
- food waste
- allergen controls
If you operate in a shared building or location, you need to put in place the same measures and precautions as if it were a single-occupancy premises.
