Food Safety Training & HACCP UK

For most food businesses, the law on food safety training is to be found in the European Food Regulations EC Regulation 852/2004 which was enacted by the Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2005 and similar regulations in the rest of the UK.

The Healthy Distance Basic Food Hygiene Course covers all these areas including basic microbiology, prevention of food contamination, temperature control, cleaning, disinfection, pest control and the law.

To summarise, some form of formal food safety training is appropriate for persons who prepare or handle high-risk open food or have supervisory responsibilities. The Healthy Distance Basic Food Hygiene Course meets these requirements.

The Healthy Distance food hygiene courses are available as a postal course, on CD ROM and online and are used by a number of well-known food businesses, as well as small enterprises. Details of some our customers are given on our website.

HACCP is an internationally recognised food safety management system used to identify, evaluate and control food hazards. It is a way of identifying and controlling the parts of the food handling process that are most important in preventing contamination and food poisoning and the requirements for HACCP UK have been extended over the last few years.
