Advanced Food Safety Limited / ALLSAFE

What Advanced Food Safety Limited / ALLSAFE does

Advanced Food Safety Limited, trading as ALLSAFE, is a UK-based, family-owned food safety consultancy and training company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Shevington, Wigan, Lancashire. The firm specialises in BRCGS (BRC) Standard consultancy — covering Food, Packaging Materials, Storage & Distribution, Agents & Brokers, and Consumer Products — alongside HACCP system development, internal audit training, and food allergen management. It serves a broad customer base ranging from sub-10-employee start-ups to major international organisations, with named enterprise and mid-market clients including BLS Foods, Schur Packaging St Helens, Ornua Butter Trading UK, Pack 4, Moore & Buckle, and Classic Desserts, primarily in food manufacturing, packaging, distribution, and catering.

The company's core technology consists of two proprietary content assets: the ALLSAFE distance learning courseware (book-based, launched in 2002) and the ALLSAFE e-learning platform (launched in 2012 at allsafe-elearning.com), both delivering CPD-certificated training in Food Safety, HACCP, Internal Audit, Allergens and Health & Safety at Levels 1–4. It is an approved RSPH (Royal Society for Public Health) training centre, with RSPH examinations available for higher-level courses. Content is monetised through a hybrid model: on-site consultancy and training services priced per day (e.g., £595 + VAT for up to 8–10 staff on courses such as Internal Audit, Allergens, and Level 2 Food Hygiene; £3,300 + VAT for a 5-day Level 4 Food Safety course), self-serve e-learning and distance learning course purchases (from £4.50), and downloadable BRC system templates and audit checklists via an e-commerce storefront at allsafe.org.uk. Live remote online training has been added as an additional delivery channel.
