A Cork-based food safety company has launched a new hygiene standard in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which it says will help food businesses to reopen and provide greater reassurance to customers and staff.

The Food Safety Company has rolled out a service that can assess, test, and certify that food businesses meet the “highest” of hygiene standards and are free from pathogens and viruses through effective cleaning.
