Food Hygiene Essentials Level 1
Duration: 1 hour
Food poisoning is a major concern for anyone working within the food service industry. Not only is it highly unpleasant and in some cases potentially fatal for the unlucky recipient, but it can also be costly and irrevocably damaging to an establishment’s reputation.
Luckily, most food poisoning risks can be eliminated by good basic knowledge of food hygiene principles. High standards of food preparation, storage, cleaning techniques and personal hygiene are all fundamental to the safe delivery of a customer’s food.
