In December 2008 the Food Standards Agency agreed a National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. It is  now running in all areas of Wales, Northern Ireland and in 99% of England.  

In practice the rating scheme is designed to ensure that businesses that are broadly compliant with  food law and are managing food safety risks will receive a rating of three, and those who are managing the risk well will receive a rating of four or five. However, significant lapses in any of the  scoring criteria can also have a significant effect on the rating.

This course is intended to give you an overview of how the National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme  works, what the scoring criteria are and how these are assessed by the inspectors, the appeals  process, the Safer Food Better Business management system, E-Coli and concludes with some  practical advice for ensuring your premises gets the best score possible.

Allergies occur when the body’s immune system reacts to a usually harmless substance as though it  is harmful. Why this happens, isn’t clear. However, most sufferers come from families that have a  history of allergies, or related problems.

It covers the 14 allergens controlled by legislation along with food additives and how  they can trigger allergic reactions. It takes a detailed look at the symptoms of food allergies and  takes in the wider picture discussing the current theories of why rates are increasing. It then finishes  off by covering practical steps that can be taken to reduce the risk from allergens and also what  steps can be taken both internally and externally to monitor the control measures
