On Tuesday 7 June 2022, on the occasion of the International Food Safety Day, the Horesca Federation, in the presence of Luxembourg's Minister of Consumer Protection, Paulette Lenert, presented an updated guide to good practices in food hygiene for companies in the hotel, restaurant and café (Horesca) sector in Luxembourg.
This update takes into account new technological and regulatory developments and allows operators of Horesca establishments to adjust their working methods to the current level of knowledge in order to provide consumers with the highest possible level of protection in terms of food safety.
The first version of the guide to good hygiene practices for these companies was drawn up in 2014 and quickly became the benchmark for ensuring food safety in establishments in the Horesca sector. It is a particularly dynamic sector characterised by frequent new creations of establishments and a continuous evolution of the methods in manufacturing and distribution. Food regulations, for their part, are also constantly evolving to adapt to technical and scientific progress in the field of food safety.
With this update, the guide to good practices in food hygiene takes these developments into account and thus enables members of the sector to adapt to them in order to guarantee a high level of consumer protection.
The guide has been favourably advised by the food control services and validated by the Minister for Consumer Protection.
