Food Safety Training FAQs
Food Hygiene and Safety involves practices to ensure food is safe for consumption, preventing contamination and illness. It is vital to protect public health, reduce foodborne diseases, and maintain trust in food supply chains.
The pillars of food safety include Cleaning and Sanitising, Cross-contamination Prevention, Proper Storage, Accurate Temperature Control, and Personal Hygiene. These pillars work together to prevent contamination and ensure food remains safe for consumption.
The 5 basic food safety rules are: maintain cleanliness, separate raw and cooked foods, cook thoroughly, store at safe temperatures, and use safe water and raw materials. Following these rules ensures food is prepared and consumed safely.
The 4 types of food hazards are biological (e.g., bacteria, viruses), chemical (e.g., pesticides, cleaning agents), physical (e.g., glass, metal), and allergenic (e.g., nuts, shellfish). Each type poses a unique risk to food safety.
