UK Flour Millers members are very careful about maintaining high standards of hygiene in their mills. The main regulation on food hygiene is Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on the Hygiene of Foodstuffs. In conjunction with the Food Standards Agency and local authorities, UK Flour Millers has drawn up a guide to compliance with these regulations, which is available to purchase from TSO.

​

Whilst this guide is not legally binding, officers from food authorities must take it into account when assessing compliance with the regulations. The guide forms part of a series of industry guides to Good Hygiene Practice that are formally recognised by the FSA.
