What is responsible food sourcing?
Buying food in a way that lets you show where it came from, that it meets an agreed standard, and that any claim made about it is backed by evidence.
It starts with traceability: UK food law requires food businesses to be able to identify who supplied them and which businesses they supplied, often called one step back, one step forward.
