How TKEG publishes practical kitchen compliance guidance.
TKEG (The Kitchen Efficiency Group) publishes guidance to help UK hospitality operators understand food-safety, due-diligence and kitchen-compliance topics in practical terms. Our aim is to make official requirements and operational good practice easier to understand without presenting TKEG as a regulator or official authority.
Our editorial principles
Sources we prioritise
For UK food-safety and kitchen-compliance topics, we prioritise primary and authoritative sources before secondary commentary. Depending on the topic, these commonly include:
How we handle updates and corrections
Food-safety guidance, enforcement practice and digital workflows can change. TKEG guidance should be treated as a practical explanation, not a substitute for checking the current official source when a decision is important.
When we identify a material change or an error, we update the relevant page rather than preserving outdated wording for search traffic. We also aim to keep links to primary sources visible so readers can verify the underlying guidance themselves.
If you believe a TKEG guide contains an error or outdated statement, please contact us so it can be reviewed.
Independence and limitations
TKEG is an independent hospitality software and consultancy platform. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Food Standards Agency, Health and Safety Executive or a local authority.
Official guidance, legislation, inspection findings and enforcement decisions take precedence. Businesses remain responsible for applying the requirements that are relevant to their own operation.
