Hi all

I have been searching for some decent guidelines on selling food online, the Food Standards Agency seems better aimed at consumers.

Does anyone have any experience of regulations, or a link to the relevant place?

Thanks

Might I suggest you have a read of Tesco's terms and conditions. If there is any specific regulations or laws that apply to selling food you can be sure that Tesco lawyers will quote compliance in their online T&Cs

Selling food online is no diffferent oprincipally from selling pet food, wines, and any other consumerables. I would suggest that you follow your carriers T+Cs and the temeprature regime. Compliance to food safety legislation which is irrelevant to the mode of distribution because the conditions must be the same.

if you want further advice please drop me a PM and i will send you my personal number, (please do call not my 0800 No - it cost lots) because i can bang on about this for ages

Right, this is Scottish Link, which may not be useful to you from a regional basis, but the Scots government have realised that Food is one of their most important sectors right now, and that enabling online selling of food is actually quite important.
There should be some useful stuff/links on this website.
