Basic Food Hygiene Training 

Over 2.4 million people in the UK experience food-borne illness each year. That's enough to make anyone's stomach turn! This course can teach your staff to prevent them from causing food-borne illness.  

 

 

 What is Food Hygiene Training? 

 
Food hygiene is about one thing, preventing others from becoming unwell when they consume food. The 4Cs of food hygiene; cleaning, cooking, chilling and cross contamination make all the difference. 
 
The Food Standards Agency state that anyone who may touch food, come into contact with surfaces where food is prepared; even those in the same room where food is being prepared, count as a food handler. All food handlers are at risk of contaminating food, especially the ones without any training. 
 
Under our basic food hygiene training course, your employees would be trained by a team of certified and experienced nurses on the various food safety and hygiene requirements, such as the standards prescribed by the Food Standards Agency.
