Why Study Food Hygiene?

Hygiene plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of all food products.  At all levels throughout the supply chain, food products are exposed to a wide variety of potential risks.  Should hygiene standards be allowed to deteriorate for even a brief moment, the safety of the product could be compromised.  Where food products are stored, handled or prepared in an unhygienic manner, the risk of foodborne illness increases exponentially.  As the consequences of food poisoning can be catastrophic, it is a risk that must be taken seriously.  Not only by the business, but by each and every worker who comes into contact with the product on its journey to the consumer.  It is the legal obligation of every food business to prioritise the safety and welfare of its customers.  This exclusive food hygiene free course therefore comes highly recommended to business owners, senior managers, supervisors and employees at all levels.

By the end of this course the learner will be able to:

  • Understand the risks associated with substandard food hygiene
  • Discuss the potential consequences of low food safety standards
  • Describe the seven most important principles of a safe food supply chain 

All free online certificate courses at Oxford Home Study Centre are 100% free of charge from start to finish.  There is no enrolment fee, all study aids are provided via our online learning platform and all of our courses are self-paced for total flexibility.
