Why is this Food Safety in Health and Care course important?
Food safety is a scientific discipline describing the handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness. This includes several routines that should be followed to avoid potential health hazards.
Food safety refers to the conditions and practices that preserve the quality of food to prevent contamination and food-borne illnesses. The Food Standards Agency (UK) educates consumers about the importance of safe food handling and how to reduce the risks associated with foodborne illness.
People need to understand how their behaviour and activities contribute to the safety of food and how they can decrease the risk of foodborne illness. From processes on the farm to practices in the kitchen, human activities play an essential role in food safety.
