Welcome to the Chilled Food Association's website

The UK chilled prepared food industry is the most advanced in the world not only because of the range of foods we produce but also because of our approach to food safety, standards and management systems.

CFA was formed in 1989 to establish, continuously improve and promote best hygienic practice standards in the production of retailed chilled prepared food. CFA represents many of the leading names in UK chilled prepared food production, predominantly supplying the retail trade.

Explore our site to find out more about chilled food, the standards to which the industry works to and our members.
