Overview

Cross-contamination is one of the greatest risks in the Food Sector to the health of the public.

Cross-contamination occurs when harmful bacteria transfers to ready-to-eat food from another source.

EU regulations require all food businesses to protect customers against the risks of cross contamination. Food Standards Scotland has created guidance to help businesses understand what they need to do in Scotland to satisfy Environmental Health Officers and fulfil the requirements of the EU regulations.

This course is based on the Food Standard Scotland guidelines.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
