Service Description: It is crucial that staff handling, storing, preparing, selling and distributing food and drink are aware of the dangers their handling can have on their products and the particular dangers inherent in the food. They should also know ways of controlling these risks and verifying that their controls are working. Such knowledge comes from training both formal and informal. Where Environmental Health staff find knowledge to be deficient, action can be taken to improve.
Also known as:- Food Safety
Answer: Yes you can, but if you are handling or preparing food at home as a commercial business, your premises and business operation must comply with food safety legislation. This may require structural alterations to your domestic kitchen. Food poisoning is a miserable and potentially dangerous experience and it is your responsibility to make sure that your food does not make anybody ill.
