Level 2 Award in Food Safety

European Regulation 852/2004 requires that all food handlers must receive appropriate supervision, instruction and/or training in food hygiene. Government approved industry guides indicate that staff handling open high risk foods should receive training to Level 2 (formerly known as Basic or Foundation Food Hygiene).

The CIEH Level 2 Award in Food Safety is normally delivered over 1 day (6 hours) and covers a defined  syllabus aimed at giving first tier workers an appreciation of the fundamentals of good food safety practice. The course is delivered to meet the needs of different industry sectors, in catering, retailing and manufacturing.
