Providing this training helps manufacturers meet legal duties for role-appropriate instruction, reduce audit non-conformances and demonstrate compliance to customers and supply partners.
Why Is Level 1 Food Hygiene Awareness for Manufacturing Important?
Food and drink manufacturers have a legal duty to make sure every employee understands how to handle food safely and maintain hygiene standards suitable for their role.
Entry-level staff are often new to manufacturing environments and may not yet know the hygiene routines, controls, and reporting practices that protect food safety. Without this awareness, small mistakes can lead to contamination, audit failures, and costly product recalls.
Level 1 Food Hygiene Awareness for Manufacturing provides a simple, reliable way to train production, packing, warehouse and hygiene teams in essential food safety principles. It explains how to keep clean, follow correct handling and storage routines, control allergens under Natasha’s Law, and maintain hygienic work areas.
Providing this training helps manufacturers meet Food Standards Agency expectations for low-risk roles, reduce audit non-conformances, and demonstrate due diligence to customers and supply partners. It also shortens onboarding for new and temporary staff, helping build consistent hygiene standards across every shift.
