Food Safety
Employees should receive appropriate resources and motivational support from management to apply the knowledge acquired during this course. So, before we start, let’s look at what food is and what food hygiene means. The definition of food includes drinks, ingredients, and finished food products. Please note, food or drinks that are provided either free of charge or for profit must be fit for human consumption and must meet food safety requirements.
Food Hygiene may be defined as: all the practical measures involved in keeping food safe through the various stages of production to the point of sale or consumption. Ireland’s food Industry is our largest source of employment and as such has a significant influence on our economy. Activities within the food industry can be as diverse as harvesting, packaging, preparing, delivering, receiving, storing, cooking, displaying, transporting, serving and includes cleaning activities associated with any of the roles I’ve mentioned.

Food safety legislation that applies in Ireland originates from EU directives. The food safety legislation is comprehensive and deals with various aspects of food safety.
