Food Hygiene and Safety

From the smallest café or restaurant through to the supermarket or global food manufacturer, all have a duty and a legal requirement to serve safe food. Therefore, it is vital that anyone involved in the process understands how to produce food that will not harm the consumer.

All food handlers should receive some form of food safety training before starting work in a kitchen, shop or food factory. The minimum requirement is the Level 2 course but supervisors and managers will require a higher level of training to ensure they can carry out their role in ensuring the safety of the food.

The CIEH and RIPH food safety qualifications have recently been restructured to meet QCA requirements. This has made the levels more consistent across a range of industries, and also more specific to your job role. The new courses are listed below.

When you attend one of our RIPH food safety courses you will also be able to choose whether you take an exam in food safety for manufacturing, catering or retailing. Our food safety courses will therefore equip you with the knowledge and skills to produce safe food in a wide range of food industry sectors.
