C.I.E.H.: Level 3 Award in Implementing Food Safety Management Procedures
From 1 January 2006, EU legislation required all businesses producing food to have a documented food safety management system in place, based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles. Although effective in theory, HACCP has been particularly difficult to establish in catering businesses because of the sheer number and variety of processes involved in preparing and serving food.
However, practical, accessible and user-friendly management tools have been created, notably the "Safer Food Better Business (SFBB)" or "Cooksafe" packs adopted by the FSA, to help caterers comply with the new regulations.
This new qualification will help caterers to implement a food safety management system based on HACCP principles.
Note: This qualification will give part exemption to the new Level 3 Award in Supervising Food Safety in Catering
