The Food Standards Agency has refreshed our long-standing community cooking guidance to reflect the welcome increase in individuals and community groups supplying vulnerable people with food during the coronavirus pandemic.
This guidance provides food safety information for individuals or groups wishing to prepare meals at home for their community. This can include preparing or donating meals for:
- those in self-isolation due to coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms
- vulnerable groups who are being shielded
- community groups and local organisations
- NHS staff.
