Food poisoning, a consequence of food contamination, can lead to severe illness and even death so measures and regulations are required to ensure that food is prepared under hygienic conditions and kept safe. This course exposes you to the important business of keeping food and cooking spaces healthy. We provide an in-depth look at food safety and explain how a food supervisor ensures it.
