While not a legislated requirement, it is a best practice for food premises to document a food safety management plan. Between 2015 and 2018, less than 15% of inspected food premises in Middlesex-London had a food safety management plan documented and routinely monitored.

The proportion of food premises with a food safety management plan consistently decreased each year from 14.3% in 2015 to 9.3% in 2018.

Compared to 2015, the proportion of premises with a food safety management plan was significantly lower in both 2017 and 2018.
