The staff canteen in my company provides free meals to staff. However, the food is catered from external parties, i.e. prepared offsite at the caterer's premises. Does my canteen need to be licensed by SFA?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. Please note that you should only obtain catered food from food businesses that SFA has approved to conduct catering activities. These include SFA-licensed food caterers and select central kitchens.
