Food Safety NOS: Help Shape the Standards That Shape the Sector

Dec 3, 2025 | NSAFD News

The consultation on the refreshed National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Food Safety has been launched, and we’d love your input.

These standards underpin qualifications, apprenticeships, and professional development across the UK. They’re used by awarding bodies, training providers, and employers of every size. That’s why it’s so important they reflect the real skills, knowledge, and understanding needed in today’s food and drink industry.

If you’ve ever faced skill gaps or found that new recruits need more up-to-date training, this is your chance to help shape the solution.

How to take part:

  • Review the updated Functional Map – does anything feel missing?
  • Explore the draft standards and leave comments line by line

Every insight counts. Your feedback will help ensure these benchmarks are fit for purpose and future-ready.

Let’s build a stronger, safer sector, together.
