As a food handler, it is vital that you are trained in preparing food safely, handling food correctly and maintaining good food hygiene standards to protect your customers' health and safety. Also, receiving training in food hygiene is important for your continuing professional development and required to comply with food hygiene legislation, such as the Food Hygiene Regulations 2006 and the Food Safety Act 1990.
