Level 1 Food Safety – Retail

CPD, IIRSM, Gatehouse Awards, Institute of Hospitality & IOSH Approved

Course Overview

In compliance with EU and UK Laws, food handlers and their employers are legally obliged to uphold Food Safety standards. These regulations mandate that all food prepared, cooked, served, or sold must be safe for human consumption. Failing to adhere to these standards can lead to food contamination, posing potentially fatal consequences. Our online training system aims to equip employees with essential knowledge to heighten awareness of food safety hazards, understand their origins, and learn effective methods to manage and prevent risks.

• New employees with minimal or no prior food safety knowledge.
• Employees handling low-risk or wrapped foods (category A).
