Food Hygiene Certificate for Cafés & Coffee Shops — UK Online Training

Coffee shops that prepare sandwiches, salads or grab-and-go items on the same premises are producing PPDS (Pre-Packed for Direct Sale) food, which is covered by Natasha's Law — full ingredients labels with allergens emphasised are mandatory. Food Allergy Awareness covers exactly what counts as PPDS and how the labelling rules work in practice.

All five courses align with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) guidance for food handlers across England, Wales and Northern Ireland — the same framework local authorities use when carrying out hygiene inspections.

Café operators often run with a small core team and a rotating bank of part-time staff. Online training is the only practical way to keep up: each new starter can be put through Level 2 Food Hygiene and Food Allergy Awareness on their first shift, with no classroom coordination.
