FOODSAFE Level 2 (Advanced)
This Certificate course is recognized by all Health Authorities in BC and many other regions. All our FOODSAFE courses are taught by Certified Public Health Inspectors with years experience both inspecting and teaching.
FOODSAFE Level 2 (Advanced) builds on Level 1, which is a prerequisite for Level 2. Topics covered include using the HACCP system to develop a Food Safety Plan, which every restaurant in B.C. is required by law (Food Premises Regulation) to have. A Food Safety Plan describes all of the food-handling procedures of the restaurant and the measures in place to ensure they are done safely to prevent food poisoning.
Other topics related to managing a safe food-service business, such as sanitary practices and pest control, are also covered in FOODSAFE Level 2.
Please note that a FOODSAFE Level 2 certificate cannot be issued unless the prerequisite Level 1 has previously been taken.
