Level 2 Award Food Safety in Catering

Course review:

We all expect that any food we buy will be safe and wholesome. We don't expect it to be contaminated, poorly cooked or badly handled in a way that threatens our health or the health of others. Everyone involved with food production and delivery, from manufacturers and retailers to caterers, has a legal duty to know the principles and processes of food safety.

At all times, at least one person in your kitchen should hold this award. So make sure you're covered.
