About this course

Food hygiene for retail food roles

Supermarket staff and deli counter workers are named audiences for this Level 2 course. Its eight modules are written around food handling, storage and display in retail settings. Cold-chain management, cleaning and disinfection, and allergen awareness are included within the 4-5-hour syllabus.

The retail setting matters when choosing between the catalogue’s Level 2 versions. The catering food hygiene course is written for people preparing and serving food in catering environments. Food Hygiene Level 2 for Manufacturing includes production hygiene and GMP.

For retail staff whose training also covers food-safety systems, HACCP Level 2 for catering and retail is the matching sector version. It covers hazard analysis, monitoring and records as a separate course, while this course keeps its focus on retail hygiene.
