Your FAQ

Question: Do staff that handle food have to be trained in food hygiene?

Answer: Yes they do, but the extent to which they are trained depends on their duties and associated risks in the food business. It is advisable for most food handlers to be trained to at least foundation level. It may be possible for a suitably trained manager or head chef to carry out in-house training of food handlers themselves. - Related Link
