Hygiene training attendance record

What the law requires

Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, Annex II, Chapter XII requires food handlers to be supervised and instructed or trained in food hygiene in line with their work. The same chapter requires the people who develop and maintain the HACCP procedures to be trained in the HACCP principles. In the UK, the Food Standards Agency pack Safer food, better business has the same kind of staff training record. The topics and how often training is repeated come from your own HACCP plan and the national guide.
