Food Safety Quiz – How much do you know?

Employers are responsible for ensuring that all staff have relevant and up to date food hygiene training. Food safety legislation places an obligation on food business operators to ensure that all their activities are carried out in a hygienic way. It makes it an offence to supply food which is unsafe or harmful to human health.
