What is a Food Safety Consultant invoice?

A food safety consultant invoice covers services helping food businesses comply with food hygiene regulations and manage food safety risks. Services include HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plan development, food safety management system audits, food hygiene training, allergen management reviews, new product development food safety input, and regulatory inspection preparation. Food safety consultants work with restaurants, food manufacturers, caterers, and retailers. RSPH or CIEH food hygiene qualifications plus industry experience are typical credentials. Monthly retainers for ongoing compliance support and one-off project fees for HACCP development are both common billing models.

Frequently asked questions

How do I price a HACCP plan?
A HACCP plan for a small restaurant or catering business typically takes 2-3 days of consultant time plus documentation work. Price at £800-£1,500. More complex food manufacturing HACCP takes longer and costs more.
What does a food hygiene audit cover?
A food hygiene audit reviews premises, equipment, temperature controls, cleaning records, pest control, staff practices, and documentation against legal requirements. Invoice as a fixed audit fee with a written report.
Should I offer allergen management consulting separately?
Yes. Allergen management is a specific compliance area with significant liability implications. An allergen management review covers menus, supplier declarations, labelling, and cross-contamination controls. Invoice as a separate deliverable.
Is food safety consulting subject to VAT?
Yes. Food safety consulting services are subject to 20% VAT.
