    Level 1
    Basic Food Hygiene

    • Hi there and welcome to your Basic Food Hygiene course with Islington ACL. I'm delighted that you have chosen to study this really important qualification with us and I am certain you are going to enjoy every minute!

      Each week will have a particular theme when we will focus on different aspects of what it means to work in a professional kitchen and the high standards of hygiene that must be followed.

      Even though the focus will be on what we must do in a professional kitchen, you will also find the course very useful for ensuring you keep your family and friends safe when eating food you have prepared at home!

      Have you washed your hands? You have? Good! Then let's get started...


    • Here are the  PowerPoint Slides for Session 1

    • Don't panic! This is not homework like you remember it. This is all linked to the things we have talked about in class. If there is anything you are not sure of, that's ok. Just text me or email me and we will clear it up! OK? Good.

    • Hopefully you won't find this TV Commercial too distasteful, but it certainly packs a strong smelling punch!

    • The Food Standards Agency website is packed full of interesting and really useful information about every aspect of food hygiene. There is guidance for consumers and businesses and there are up to date alerts for food product recalls and allergy notices. There are also some really excellent short videos about different aspects of food hygiene in a professional kitchen. This is a must go to website!
