Hygiene and alcohol passport

Hygiene passport

A hygiene passport is a certificate that demonstrates a person's knowledge of food hygiene skills, showing that they know how to handle and store food safely. You need a hygiene passport if you work in a food establishment and/or handle unpackaged, perishable food. Food establishments include, e.g., cafes, restaurants, food stores, commercial kitchens, bakeries, and food factories.

The hospitality management degree programmes provide students with a broad knowledge of food hygiene, but do not replace the hygiene passport. The passport is obtained by completing a separate hygiene passport test.
