Small businesses involved in the food industry in the Derry City and Strabane District Council area are being urged to take part in a free food safety workshop taking place next week in the Everglades Hotel.

“This is a chance to learn from an experienced food safety trainer and auditor, as well as to connect with other small food businesses in your area, please register for your free place as soon as possible.”
The workshop will provide up to date training on: Pest control; Controlling food poisoning bacteria; Cleaning and sanitisation; Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP); Record keeping for small food businesses; and Managing and labelling food allergens.
