Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Health and Social Care and Early Years and Childcare Settings

About the course

Support materials For Food Safety

• Our Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Health and Social Care and Early Years and Childcare Settings course covers Food poisoning and other forms of foodborne contamination by bacterial, viral, or parasite organisms that can cause gastroenteritis, dehydration, and other significant health issues such as renal failure and death. No one wants to put their life in danger every time they bring a fork or spoon to their mouth.
• Food safety regulations must be standardised for compliance throughout the food chain, from manufacturing, distribution, and storage to consumer sale and service, and must include regulations for receiving, re-packing, food storage, preparation and cooking, cooling and reheating, displaying products, handling products when serving customers, packaging, cleaning and sanitising, pest control, transport, and delivery.
• Proper Food safety preserves flavour, colour, texture, and nutrients while preventing the growth of food-borne microorganisms. It is also influenced by the amount of time it takes to carry food from the farm to the store to our homes, as well as whether the food is perishable (meat, eggs, fruit, vegetables), semi-perishable (grains, dry mixes), or non-perishable (sugar, canned foods) and how it is handled and transported.
