Food safety training

As a food business owner, you must make sure that you train your staff in food safety if they handle food.

Anyone who handles high-risk food should be trained to a level 2 (or equivalent) food safety standard.

At least one manager or senior chef should be trained to a level 3 (or equivalent) food safety standard.

You can find information on food safety training levels on the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health website.
