New Food Safety Guidance Changes

UK food safety has shifted to a "Digital-First" enforcement model. With the HFSS Advertising Ban now live and the FSA transitioning to remote, data-driven audits, objective oil testing is no longer optional. Under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025, the 24% TPM limit is the definitive legal benchmark—making instrument-verified, digital documentation the only reliable "Due Diligence" defense for protecting your brand and your bottom line.

Key Regulatory Challenges

The transition from manual to digital food safety has created three critical challenges for UK food operators. Go to www.food.gov.uk/about-us/food-and-feed-codes-of-practice for full details.

  • Remote Official Controls: Health officers are shifting to remote document reviews. If your data isn't digital, your audit takes longer.

  • HFSS & Transparency: New UK/EU restrictions require precise nutrient and quality data that "guesswork" cannot provide.

  • Evidence of Due Diligence: The "Due Diligence" defense now requires a continuous, digital paper trail to protect against unlimited fines and brand damage.

Testo's Solution

To address the 2026 regulatory shift, Testo provides an integrated, "Connected Kitchen" solution that automates compliance and removes the risk of human error

  • testo 270 BT: Replaces subjective checks with laboratory-grade TPM (Total Polar Material) measurement. This ensures you operate exactly at the 24% legal limit, optimizing oil life while providing the objective data required to avoid HFSS advertising bans.

  • testo Smart App: Acts as your digital quality manager by instantly syncing data from the 270 BT, testo 104-IR BT, and testo 110. It generates time-stamped, tamper-proof PDF reports with digital signatures, specifically designed to satisfy the FSA’s new Remote Official Controls.

  • The "Traffic Light" Safeguard: All BT-range devices feature a standardized Green/Yellow/Red visual alert system. This ensures that even junior staff can make perfect "Pass/Fail" decisions, protecting your business from the "Due Diligence" liabilities of the 2025 Metrology Act.
