Food Hygiene And Safety For Retailers (Level 2)

All UK food retailers are required to undertake food safety training that is appropriate to their particular business. This not only ensures that the food that they handle and serve is safe to eat but also helps to improve safety in the kitchen.

All food retail businesses therefore need to provide suitable food safety training for employees, to allow them to carry out their roles effectively.

Instruction on basic food hygiene is included in the Caredemy Basic Food Hygiene and Safety course but staff working in the food retail sector may need more specific information that is relevant to their workplace.

The Caredemy Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Retail course provides an overview of the food safety regulations which cover the safe preparation and retail of food. This course meets the requirements for UK food handlers.

What is good food hygiene for retailers?

All food retailers are responsible for putting effective food safety procedures in place within their premises, so that the food prepared is safe to eat. They need to be able to identify critical points in their processes, apply controls at these points and review them regularly. They must operate their business with transparency, immediately informing the relevant authorities if their food is unsafe, and working with the authorities to improve their food safety where necessary.

Food retailers will also need to consider the traceability of the food that they purchase and the transport methods that they use. Implementing good food safety procedures can help food retailers to reduce food waste, which can also improve the profitability of their business.
