Why Food Hygiene level 3 is Important

If you manage, supervise or work in a food business you have legal, commercial and moral obligations to provide safe food.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) found in a scientific review that around 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness occur every year in the UK. This is an increase from the 2009 estimate of approximately one million cases. Some instances will be serious and may result in death.

Harm, injury and illness can be caused by consuming food that is contaminated by bacteria or contains objects (such as glass and wood), toxic chemicals, and traces of allergens

The costs resulting from food poisoning and poor hygiene can be very high.

• Remember! Bad hygiene can put the business at risk of losing profits and even closing indefinitely. Food employees may suffer by losing their jobs because of closure, loss of business or because they become long-term carriers of food poisoning organisms, especially salmonella.

Other costs for employers can also include:

• The closure of food premises, or prohibition of processes by local authority action
• Brand damage, from a loss of business and reputation, either from bad publicity or from public reaction to poor standards, food poisoning outbreaks and even deaths
• Food losses due to premature spoilage or damage, because of poor stock rotation, incorrect storage temperature or pest infestations
• Fines and costs of legal action taken because of contraventions of hygiene legislation
• Food complaints and costs of internal investigation and decontamination
• loss of production.
