Need a food hygiene certificate?

In 2006, new EU legislation HACCP was introduced into the UK. HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is intended to control the safety of food throughout all its stages "from farm to fork" and the introduction of this legislation created the need to introduce new food training standards.

The old 'Basic Food Hygiene' training is now no longer available, and has now been combined with HACCP to form the New Food Training Standards. These are called Food Safety Training at levels 1 & 2.
