Read more here about the new layout and design: Jenny Scott explores the revised General Principles of Food Hygiene

“The revised text is nicely laid out in a way that makes the document very easy to read. The use of color and bolding, putting major section headers in a column to the left of the text, and using colored lines as separators makes the sections stand out, allows for ease of locating information, and enhances the readability of the document.”

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony
