Food Safety Legal Obligations
As a Restaurants and Cafes owner or member of staff handling
food, you have a legal obligation to comply with the requirements
of Regulation (EC) 852/2004 of the European Parliament on the Safety
of Foodstuffs, the Food Safety Act 1990 & Food Hygiene (England)
Regulations 2005.
The Legal Requirements
In simple terms the legal requirements are as follows:-
- Food handlers must be supervised and instructed and/or trained
in food Safety matters relevant to their work.
- The person responsible for developing and maintaining food Safety
procedures must be trained in the application of HACCP principles.
- The easy, cost effective and flexible way of meeting these legal
obligations is to take our Online Food Safety

How Often Do You Need To Take The Course
Generally accepted good practice within the is that training should
be renewed every three years although some employers, including
the NHS, require certificates to be renewed every year.
