Level 2 Award in Food Safety for Retail - written to industry standards

The EU legislation, HACCP, was adopted by the Uk in 2006. This necessitated a revision and updating of the UK food training. The new standards demanded that this award be divided into Manufacturing, Catering and Retail to reflect the specific food safety challenges of the differing sectors.

Food safety training level 2 for Retail is currently the only on-line version of this course, which links directly to UK awarding body City and Guilds and provides you with your certificate, directly from your PC without the inconvenience of travelling to a registered centre. This saves time and money.

The course is divided into 5 lessons:

• The importance of food safety.
• Personal hygiene.
• Safe cleaning and use of chemicals.
• Food safety hazards.
• Temperature control and safe food storage.
