It is a legal requirement that food handlers within any business are trained to maintain a hygienic work environment where food is stored, prepared, handled and served. If food hygiene and safety are routinely ignored by a food handler, then this can lead to the growth and spread of germs and bacteria which can make people sick or unwell. Poor storage can also lead to cross contamination. This can have an extremely negative impact on a food business and could even cause it to close.

A Level 2 Food Safety course teaches delegates how to work with food safely for environments where food is prepared, cooked, and handled. A Level 1 Food Safety course is geared towards environments where employees are only handling food that has already been wrapped. The Level 2 Food Safety course is useful for those working with food in schools, nurseries, supermarkets, catering businesses, care homes, food retail, prisons and food and drink manufacturers.

HACCP stands for the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. It is a systematic, science-based approach to food safety that prevents hazards before they occur. If you own or run a food business, it is vital that you have such a plan in place.
