This online Level 3 Food Safety course is ideal for Supervisors, Line Managers, Potential Managers and owners of small businesses who need an in-depth knowledge of food hygiene and safety.

Food safety describes the practices of managing food so that the food is highly unlikely to cause any harm to the end consumer. Safe food is food which is free from contaminants and will not cause illness or harm.

Food hygiene can be considered as the practical process of ensuring that food is fit to eat.
