Clear and concise explanation
The Food Hygiene Level 2 Course was well presented and easy to comprehend. It was contained many useful reminders of good practise as well as information on specific aspects of food hygiene I wasn't aware of. The presentation levels were good and the time scale of just over an hour felt ideal in terms of the amount of information delivered.

Based on Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament, the following legislation applies to all organisations handling foodstuffs for human consumption:
An integrated approach is necessary to ensure food safety from the place of primary production up to and including placing on the market or export. Every food business operator along the food chain should ensure that food safety is not compromised.
