All food businesses in East Suffolk, including takeaways, cafés, restaurants and public houses, are to receive information on providing a safe takeaway food service during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Last week the government issued the following guidance for businesses providing a takeaway food service. For the safety of the public and employees, this guidance must be implemented.

Businesses offering a food pick-up service should adhere to the following:

For these services: · no orders should be taken in person on the premises – this should be communicated to customers by appropriate means such as signage.

· businesses should therefore only take orders online or by telephone

· customers could have staggered collection times - customers should be discouraged from entering the premises until their order is ready

· customers arriving without having already placed an order should be encouraged to leave the premises to place their order by telephone or online, and to return at a designated time for collection

· customers whose orders are ready should enter one at a time to collect orders and make payments

· businesses should discourage crowding outside the premises. Where possible, use queue management systems to maintain the two metres separation.

For more information about the advice to food businesses in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak visit www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-for-food-businesses
