I really enjoy baking - I’m quite good - only thing I’m really any good at!
I like baking traditional cakes like Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle, carrot.
I normally bake on the weekend and sometimes bake a tray bake cake and take it to work.
I work in a team of about 10 people. So there’s plenty for everyone to help themselves- it’s normally demolished by Wednesday.
2 woman I work with are always on a diet or talking about fitness - both in there late 50s.
One of them asked to have a word with me today and said her and this other woman both agree it’s not appropriate to bring in homemade cakes to work because it’s unhealthy and not fair when people are trying to be ‘good’.
She also said that if I could be reported to HR as I haven’t had a hygiene rating certificate at home. She said she’s worried if someone got sick from my homemade food I could get in trouble.
AIBU to feel a bit upset about this. My home is spotless my kitchen is clean.
I think these woman have just got food issues but I am worried they could report me.
I don’t bake cakes every week. Maybe once every 6 weeks.
Whats your opinion on people being in baked goods from home into work?
AIBU?

I'm petty enough that I'd email HR with bitchy dieting woman CCd in saying
Hi HR
Bitchy woman has been kind enough to point out to me that I may need a food hygiene certificate to bring in home baked goods, just wondering if you could clarify if that is the case.
Kind regards
I wouldn't mention the grievance bit at this stage as I strongly suspect the answer to pull get from HR is that no you don't and how nice it is that you being in baked goods and care enough to ask.

You don’t need a hygiene certificate unless you are selling the cakes
