Food and Hygiene

The Hospitality & Catering industry is continuously evolving with new amendments to regulations change frequently. For those who work within the industry it is important that they are aware of these changes while also having an understanding of how the procedures and practices are carried out.

If you own or run a food business, it is your responsibility to ensure your workforce is trained in the correct disciplines of food hygiene & safety ensuring a successful enterprise.

There are many legal complications that the business owner may be presented with if this food business does not abide by the set standards for food hygiene. There are strict laws to guard the consumers from consuming unhygienic food.

Who’s it for?

Everyone who works with food commercially (i.e. selling food products), must have a food hygiene certificate. Having it assures the public you know how to prepare
and store foods properly and safely.

What’s the law?

If you have an up to date Food Hygiene Certificate you have met the legal obligation.

The Environmental Health officer is looking to see that food handlers are appropriately trained, and if you don’t have appropriate food hygiene training, you are at risk of failing your Environmental Health Officer inspection.

County Training provides courses that are designed to give staff an appreciation of the fundamentals of good food hygiene principals and practices. There are also level 3 and refresher qualifications available. Please click on the attachments on this page for course details.
