About this training…
This training is the food industry’s most up-to-date version, of the old-fashioned Basic Food Hygiene training or Level 2 Food Safety training.
This food safety and GMP course is designed specifically for operatives working in the manufacturing of premium chilled products and is delivered on our online training dashboard.
In this training course, we will take you on a virtual tour of Gourmet Foods Ltd, who make a range of scrummy premium chilled products.
You’ll arrive at site as a new employee and will be sent by security to reception to sign in, before you complete your induction with Barbara. You’ll meet the friendly site team, starting with Karmen who’ll take you on a tour of the external areas, before you enter the staff entrance and look around the facilities. When you’ve got changed and entered the factory you’ll follow the process; looking at how materials are received and prepared for production. Your visit will take you through the heat treatment, mixing and assembly areas with Ali, Aaliyah and Ben. You’ll pop into the washroom to see Steph and then head into the packing area to meet Maryam to learn all about the packaging and labelling processes. Finally, Terry and Ste will show you around the warehouse and dispatch area.
As you move around the site, you’ll learn about food safety and GMP relevant to the production of premium chilled products, such as glass containers, high-risk principles, pasteurisation, Xray and much, much more!
We cover the topics you need...
Our training covers all the specific topics your operatives need to understand.
Controlling glass containers
We are all used to purchasing food in glass containers, but if you think about it packing into glass is a risky process. That’s why it’s really important that glass containers are inspected before use and when a breakage does happen, it’s effectively controlled. These principles are taught during the course.
Transfer practices
The transfer point from low-risk to high-risk is a critical step in the process. Operatives need to understand the purpose of the transfer step and how everything that enters the high-risk area has to be decontaminated. The course also teaches the different decontamination techniques such as tunnel and hatch transfer.
High risk principles
Not only do materials need to be transferred to high-risk so that they are decontaminated before they enter, but the course explains that people do too. The operative is taken into the low-risk areas, then into the high-risk changing rooms before entering high-risk. On they way, they learn the principles of changing to ensure that the high-risk area is kept clean.

Beatriz Rodriguez San Martin –
It would be good to have an understanding of the duration of the course before you start.
Sometimes, the animation was a bit slow.

Hi Beatriz, Thank you for your valued feedback. You can find the course duration for all of our courses on our website product pages by downloading a copy of the specification which has all of the technical information. When you’re in this course you’ll also see a play icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen which allows you to speed up or slow down playback. We will be enhancing the courses though in the next 12 months – so a progress bar will soon be added to help see how far along in the course you are in each unit.
