BFFD is being built to make it easier for people to discover specialist food suppliers through clear, structured product, supplier and location information. For those searching for cheese online, the platform can connect users with cheesemongers, farm shop cheese counters, dairy producers, farmhouse cheese makers, artisan suppliers, online cheese retailers, cheese and gift boxes, restaurant suppliers, farmers market collection routes and local delivery options.
By bringing this information together in one place, BFFD reduces the need for users to search across multiple websites while giving suppliers a clearer way to showcase their products, provenance, availability and ordering options.
Cheese suppliers need to provide clear information, especially when selling online.
Food businesses must provide allergen information for regulated allergens where present, and cheese contains milk. Online and distance selling also needs clear information before purchase and at delivery. Prepacked foods require mandatory labelling information, and food information must not mislead customers.
List your cheesemonger, dairy, farm shop counter or online cheese business on BFFD and help people find your cheese, ordering options, delivery details and producer story.
Some suppliers only offer local delivery or click and collect.
