What’s covered by food hygiene online and should you get a food hygiene certificate?

If you are starting a new food business you must register with the local authority at least 28 days before setting up.  This means that most food business premises will have to be registered.  If you think you are exempt from being registered, for instance where you may already be registered for food law purposes or perhaps a tent or marquee, but not including stalls, then you should contact the local authority to make sure.

If you make or serve food then the absolute bare minimum that you need is a level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate.

The necessary skills may also be obtained in other ways, such as through on-the-job training, self-study or
relevant prior experience. The operator of the food business is responsible for ensuring this happens.

This course is 100% online and can takes 2-3 hours on any PC with an internet connection.

Technically it is not an actual qualification; but you need to be able to prove that you meet the legal requirements for food handlers, and many people do this by getting a UK level 2 food hygiene certificate.

The modules covered are:

costs of poor hygiene

food poisoning and food-borne diseases

The Environmental Health Service will only deal with food complaints that pose a public health threat.

Environmental Health officers pursue a positive and proactive approach towards ensuring compliance through their enforcement policy, which in general terms is as follows:

Helping and encouraging regulated entities to understand and meet regulatory requirements more easily; responding proportionately to regulatory breaches; and protecting and improving public health and the environment.

Sanctions and penalties will be consistent, balanced, fairly implemented and relate to common standards that ensure individual, public safety or the environment is adequately protected.

The aim of sanctions and penalties are to:  Change the behaviour of the offender; eliminate any financial gain or benefit from non-compliance; be responsive and consider what is appropriate for the particular offender and regulatory issue, which can include punishment and the public stigma that should be associated with a criminal conviction; proportionate to the nature of the offence and the harm caused; and aim to deter future non-compliance.

Here is some important information, but bear in mind this is not a complete statement of the law.
