FOOD SAFETY

Anyone who is working with food has a responsibility to

safeguard the health of consumers who eat their food,

therefore training is crucial. It is essential for food

safety that all food handlers are aware of the hazards

and controls associated with the types of food they

produce. Every year, many people are made ill, and some

even die as a result of eating contaminated food. Food

businesses have a legal and moral obligation to ensure

they are not contributing to these statistics.

The Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering (QCF) or

Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Retail (QCF) is

designed to give learners an understanding of the basic

principles of food safety in the catering or retail

environment. The qualification is aimed at anyone in the

catering or retail setting who works with food as part of

their working day, to give them a greater understanding

of food safety.

All successful learners will be issued with a certificate

and wallet-sized card detailing their qualification.

Assessment is through a one hour multiple-choice

examination

Anyone 16+ working in the

catering, hospitality or retail

industry (or those about to

products or statements from

those you work with.
