Level 1 Food Safety – Retail

What’s covered

Food handlers and their employers have a legal requirement to manage food safety. According to the law, anyone who handles food must ensure that it is safe for consumers to eat before it is prepared, cooked, served, or sold. Food can become contaminated if food safety regulations are not followed, and this could have fatal results.

This course helps to train your staff by increasing their understanding of the risks that poor food safety standards pose, as well as how those risks actually arise and how to manage and prevent them.

The Level 1 Awards in Food Safety provide an ideal solution to staff induction training including:
• New employees with minimal or no prior food safety knowledge;
• Employees handling low-risk or wrapped foods (category A);
• Front of house employees, such as waiting or check out staff;
• Back of house employees, such as kitchen porters or warehouse staff.

Please note that this course is level 1 in terms of the subject knowledge level of the content presented and the course does not lead to a formal level 1 qualification.
