Food hygiene training

Food handlers and businesses who contravene food regulations can be fined for non-compliance. This can lead to food poisoning outbreaks resulting in serious illness and potentially death, as well as loss of reputation and business.

Food Safety training is therefore vital to ensure food handlers have the right food safety skills and knowledge to enable food businesses to comply with food safety regulations.
