Qualification summary

The aim of the HABC Level 2 Award in Food Safety for Retail qualification is to provide candidates with knowledge of the basic food safety practices which are essential in a retail environment. The hazards and controls in this type of environment will differ from those found in catering, but are no less important.

The qualification is designed principally for those who work in, or intend to work in, a retail environment where both packaged and/or open foods are available. It is also appropriate for persons providing services, such as delivery drivers and home delivery employees.
