Food Hygiene for the Rank Professional

Master food hygiene essentials, from hazards to safety design, with sharp focus on global standards and service operations

Overview
Food hygiene isn’t merely a backroom concern—it’s the frontline defence against foodborne illness, brand damage, and customer complaints. Food Hygiene for the Rank Professional brings a no-nonsense, methodical approach to the science and strategy of food safety, from initial hazard recognition through to implementing sound food safety systems. Whether you're shaping a product or refining a process, this course will show you how to make hygiene not just policy—but practice.

You’ll explore food safety through the lens of global supply chains, foodservice operations, and personal hygiene, all while maintaining a dash of professional wit. With each module, you’ll get closer to understanding how food safety can be designed, maintained, and improved upon—not once, but continuously. And while floristry sneaks in at the end, think of it as a cautionary tale in syllabus planning.
