About SFBB+

Apptaura was chosen as the ideal development partner for All Environmental Health Services to build SFBB+ (Safer Food, Better Business), a mobile app that digitizes food safety management for caterers and food businesses.

Inspired by the challenges faced by Environmental Health Officers during inspections - jumbled paperwork, missing records, and lost documents - the goal was to transform the UK Food Standards Agency’s SFBB model into a streamlined, digital experience.

Key Features

  • Digital Record Keeping: Daily diaries, safe methods, and temperature checks stored on your device.
  • Compliance: Approved by enforcement bodies and based on the FSA’s SFBB model.
  • Version Control & Organization: Keeps records in order and tracks changes.
  • Export & Sharing: Easily send your SFBB+ pack to inspectors or team members.
  • Additional Hygiene Records: Scan and store certificates, pest checks, delivery notes, and PDFs.
  • Multi-User & Multi-Premise: Manage multiple users and sites at no extra cost.
