Tổng quan
Food safety is so important that there are laws about how a food handler should handle food.
Food handlers must not knowingly handle food in a way that will make it unsuitable or unsafe for sale.
As a food handler it is your responsibility to ensure you are providing safe and suitable food.
Selling unsafe or unsuitable food could lead to:
- illness
- council investigation and business closure
- court cases and bad publicity
- closure of the business with loss of jobs.
