Food Safety - Level 2

Guaranteed food safety is the foundation on which every food serving establishment is based on. If that guarantee is non-existent, then we risk the lives of employees and consumers. It is imperative that we learn and practise proper food safety at all levels of the business. In the Level 1 course, we covered the general information that all should know for food safety and hygiene.

We begin with refreshing your knowledge of contamination then delve into cross contamination, food poisoning and other food related illnesses.
