Food hygiene and safety is a very crucial aspect of the food and beverage industry and a slight mishap or negligence in it might lead to irrevocable consequences. There are innumerable incidents in the past where a restaurant or a food processing company had to close down business due to poor food safety standards. Therefore, restaurants and food processing companies have taken great measures to ensure the hygiene and safety of their food and have even gone as far as to get their company FSMS certified to satisfy and attract customers.
If you are aspiring to get into or progress within the food and beverage industry or would like to start your own restaurant or food processing business, it is vital for you to know the concepts, principles, measures and strategies to promote food safety and this Certificate in Food Hygiene and Safety Management at QLS Level 3 has been introduced to do just that.
This course will leave no stone unturned in its mission to enlighten you on food hygiene and safety management and will explore everything starting from the basic food safety concepts to the internationally HACCP system. You will also come across chapters that will show you how to handle and preserve fruits and vegetables, how to establish an effective FSMS and how to ensure good food hygiene practices within an organisation.
