Frequently asked question

We assess standards - not popularity, perfection, or aesthetics.

Why should I join Certified Homemade?

Certified Homemade exists because trust in food is broken.

Consumers are overwhelmed by labels, claims, calorie counts, and trends , yet still don’t know:

who made their food
what’s really in it
or who they can trust locally

Certified Homemade gives people a clear signal in a noisy food world.

By joining, you’re not just applying for a badge, you’re helping rebuild a way of eating that is local, honest, and human.

What’s in it for food businesses?

1️⃣ Trust Without Explaining Yourself Over and Over

Certified Homemade acts as a recognised standard.

Instead of constantly justifying your food, ingredients, or methods:

the certification speaks for you
the public knows what it stands for
trust is established before the first conversation

2️⃣ Visibility Inside a Trusted Network

Certified businesses are:

listed and signposted
easier for customers to find
part of a growing homemade ecosystem

As awareness grows, Certified Homemade becomes a shortcut to trust.

3️⃣ A Clear Standard to Grow With

Bronze is already trusted.

Silver and Gold aren’t pressure, they’re pathways.

4️⃣ Belonging to a Movement

This isn’t about competition or comparison.

Certified Homemade is about:

raising standards together
protecting real makers
keeping homemade visible in a system that often side lines it

You’re joining something bigger than your own business, without losing your individuality.

How does this help consumers?

Certified Homemade:

gives the public a clear definition of homemade
removes guesswork and greenwashing
helps people choose food based on trust, not trends
reconnects consumers with real food and real people

Over time, consumers learn:

If it’s Certified Homemade, I know where it comes from and I trust it.

What We Assess at Certified Homemade

Certified Homemade is a standards-based certification, not a competition and not a pass/fail exam on perfection.

We assess food businesses with one core intention:

Can the public trust this food and the person making it?

To do that fairly, every application is reviewed across the same five areas.

Legal & Food Safety Foundations - what do we look for?

(Non-negotiable)

We confirm that you are operating legally and safely.

We look for:

Registration as a food business (or registered and awaiting inspection)
A valid Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate
A valid Allergy Awareness certificate

This stage is about public safety, not tiers.

If these foundations aren’t in place yet, we’ll guide you, but certification can’t be awarded without them.

Ingredient Transparency

We assess how clearly and honestly you communicate what goes into your food.

We look for:

A full ingredient list
Clear allergen identification
Ingredients that are recognisable and understandable
Honest declaration of any bought-in or pre-prepared components

This is not about being “perfect”, it’s about being transparent.

Honesty will never count against you.

How Your Food Is Prepared

(This is the main tier differentiator)

We assess how your food is made day to day.

We look at:

Whether food is prepared at home or in a kitchen you control
The balance between scratch-made and bought components
Your understanding of your own preparation process
Consistency across what you offer

This is where Bronze, Silver, and Gold naturally differ - not through judgment, but through depth of preparation and control.

Operations & Consistency

We assess whether your food can be prepared safely and consistently.

We look for:

A clear description of your preparation routine
Evidence that food safety is maintained day to day
Awareness of your capacity and limits
Repeatability of what you sell

This helps us understand how confidently we can direct the public to you.

Presentation & Readiness

We assess whether your business is ready to be publicly signposted as Certified Homemade.

We look at:

Photos of your food
Your kitchen or workspace
Packaging, stall, or setup (if applicable)

This is not about polish or branding, it’s about trust, cleanliness, and realism.

🥉🥈🥇 How Certification Levels Are Awarded

All applicants complete the same application.

Certification is awarded as:

Bronze – trusted homemade
Silver – stronger preparation and consistency
Gold – high integrity, craftsmanship, and readiness

Bronze it is already a mark of trust.

Higher levels reflect progression, not pressure.

You do not choose a tier.

We award the highest level you fully meet.

What We Value Most

Transparency over perfection
Integrity over appearance
Honesty over optimisation
Real food made by real people

Certified Homemade exists to make homemade visible, trusted, and accessible, not to exclude.

If you’re unsure whether you’re “ready”, apply anyway.

The application itself often brings clarity and we’ll always communicate outcomes clearly, respectfully, and with guidance where appropriate.
