Rigorous enforcement of food hygiene legislation is important, but is not in itself sufficient to prevent food poisoning which is usually the result of ignorance or negligence. A reduction in high levels of food poisoning can only be achieved through education of food handlers. This new qualification replaces the foundation certificate and tackles the need to make learning more relevant to specific business environments to increase effectiveness. It addresses new National Occupational Standards reflecting sector specific needs.
