This requirement exists to reduce the incidents of foodborne illness in the retail food service sectors and improve food handlers’ skills and knowledge.

This skill set provides learners with the skills and knowledge to work hygienically when handling food and to ensure the safety of food during its storage, preparation, display, service and disposal.

This skillset meets the current FSANZ 3.2.2a requirement for SA Food Businesses as the food safety supervisor skill set.
