Switching to digital food safety training

During the financial year, Sodexo’s basic food safety training aimed at food services teams was updated, digitised and divided into two separate parts. The type of food service in which individual employees work determines whether they need to complete only one or both parts of the training programme.

Part one of the programme is aimed at workers within smaller food services with limited handling. Staff working with food services with all types of handling have to complete both parts one and two of the training programme to have the right knowledge for their work.

This basic training is also complemented by a mandatory allergy training programme, which applies to all staff working in food services, regardless of what kind they work in.

Digitalisation of this training programme has made it easier for staff to absorb it, as it’s interactive and available online and can be completed at their own pace.

“We have chosen to divide the training programme into two different parts to make things easier for staff working with food services with limited handling,” says Patrik Lundh, Food Safety Manager.
