1. Is FoodSafe Level 1 a prerequisite for FoodSafe Level 2?

Yes. A FoodSafe Level 2 certificate cannot be issued unless FoodSafe Level 1 has previously been taken.

2. What is Foodsafe Level 2 (Advanced) about?

Foodsafe Level 2 builds on the topics covered in Level 1 (Level 1 Certification is required prior to Level 2). Topics covered include using the HACCP system to develop a Food Safety Plan, which describes in detail the food-handling carried out within a Food Service Establishment and the procedures in place to ensure they are done safely. B.C.'s Food Premises Regulation requires every restaurant in B.C. to have a written Food Safety Plan. Other topics related to managing a safe food-service business, such as sanitary practices and pest control, are also covered.
