SFBB Certification for Restaurants, Cafés & Bars in Canada
Looking for restaurant food safety, coffee shop food safety, or bar hygiene services in Canada? ACS Canada helps small food businesses implement and certify Safer Food Better Business (SFBB), a practical HACCP-based system that improves compliance, training, and customer trust.
What Is SFBB?
Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) is a structured food-hygiene and safety management approach designed for small operators in food service and retail, including restaurants, cafés and coffee shops, bars, caterers, takeaways, retailers, childminders, and residential care homes. SFBB follows a science-based, systematic method aligned with HACCP principles to identify hazards and control them in day-to-day operations.
Core Controls Covered by SFBB
- Cross-contamination prevention including separation, equipment, and allergen controls
- Cleaning and disinfection with verified routines and records
- Chilling and refrigeration for receiving, storage, and cooling
- Cooking and reheating with safe temperatures and checks
- Management procedures covering staff training, corrective actions, and verification
- Daily diary and records to demonstrate control and audit readiness
SFBB also addresses premises hygiene such as layout and workflow, ventilation, hand-wash stations, and pest control so food is prepared, cooked, cooled, stored, and served safely.
