AB  - In September this year, the Government issued its draft Regulations on
Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) 1995, which acknowledges for the
first time the importance of a programme to make food handlers, their
supervisors and managers, properly aware of the importance of food
hygiene for the protection of the consumer and what they can do to
prepare food safely. However, the regulation is specific neither about
how training should best be implemented nor on the most important aspect
of the policy, its end result. The standards of food hygiene awareness
to be achieved through training have not been specified. The Department
of Health, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF)
cannot delegate their responsibility to protect the public health.
Therefore, levels of food hygiene awareness, regardless of industrial
sector, should be their prime concern. If the departments could set
their minimum required standard of food hygiene awareness, the national
framework of training which has evolved could naturally regulate the
quality of training itself.
