Here is the answer to the question: Do staff that handle food have to be trained in food hygiene?
In general all food handlers have to be trained. The level of training required depends on the nature of their duties. Staff that handle ready to eat foods (for example, sandwiches) would require training equivalent to the CIEH Basic Food Hygiene Course For more information visit www.cieh.org.uk/training/index.htm For further advice on training and training courses run by our Environmental Health team call 01453 744478, or email environmental.health@stroud.gov.
