This free online course will teach you about food safety, including HACCP, FDA Food Code, and sanitation compliance.

Are you working in food service and need to prove your food safety knowledge to your employer — or take your career to the next level? Food safety is not optional. It is mandated by law, enforced by inspectors, and the foundation of every professional kitchen, restaurant, catering operation, and food retail environment.

This free online course takes you through the complete food safety pipeline. You will learn how biological, physical, and chemical hazards enter food and how to stop them. You will master the FDA temperature danger zone, understand the seven HACCP principles in full, and learn how to apply active managerial control in your operation. The course covers purchasing and receiving, dry and refrigerated storage, food preparation, serving, cleaning and sanitising, facility management, and crisis response — including procedures for power outages and sewage backups. Every topic is grounded in FDA Food Code requirements and real workplace scenarios.

This course is designed for food handlers, kitchen staff, supervisors, and food service managers in restaurants, catering, healthcare food service, school nutrition, and retail food environments. On completion, you can receive CPD accreditation from Alison that you can add to your CV and share with employers. Enrol for free and start learning today.
