  1. Aside from following the required food handler certification course, it is a way of showing your concern and responsibility to consumers that you care about their foods' safety.

  2. Food hygiene certification is a mandatory course for professional food workers such as caterers, retailers and manufacturers. This course discusses the appropriate preparation and service of food items to avoid potential contamination from bacteria, germs, viruses and even hazardous materials that may cause poisoning incidents. Skipping this certification might increase the risk of getting fined.
