New Course: Level 2 Food Safety in Manufacturing
We’re excited to introduce our latest online course: Level 2 Food Safety in Manufacturing
This comprehensive course provides entry-level employees with the essential food safety knowledge required to work in manufacturing settings. Every successful trainee earns an IIRSM-approved digital certificate as supporting evidence of food safety compliance.
Across six modules, trainees will learn the fundamentals of food hygiene, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) checks, validated cleaning and traceable storage. The course offers clear, practical guidance that translates legal duties and standards into work routines that any food handler, line worker or team leader can follow with confidence.
For employers, providing this course supports your legal duty to provide appropriate food safety training for workers. Evidence of training is needed to achieve high food safety hygiene ratings.
Why Is Level 2 Food Safety in Manufacturing Important?
Foodborne illness costs the UK around £10.4 billion each year. For manufacturers, the consequences can be severe, including product recalls, wasted stock, lost retailer confidence and long-term reputational damage. In serious cases, businesses may face fines, prosecution or the loss of their operating licence.
Most incidents are caused by small, preventable lapses, such as a missed hand wash, an unchecked chill reading or a misapplied label.
In high-volume operations, these slip-ups are especially easy to make but expensive to ignore. Without a consistent approach, food safety practices can vary across teams, creating gaps in hygiene, monitoring and traceability.
Our Level 2 Food Safety in Manufacturing course helps close those gaps by providing the foundation for frontline food safety.
It provides food production staff and supervisors with the practical knowledge to follow food safety procedures, carry out HACCP checks and apply routine controls that keep contamination risks low. It also explains how to complete validated cleaning and manage storage with full traceability.
Embedding these routines across teams helps organisations reduce contamination risk, maintain food safety standards and protect both product quality and customer trust. Simple, repeatable actions become a reliable first line of defence against costly mistakes.
