The legal position

What Irish Law Actually Requires

Written plainly, with the source named so you can check it yourself.

The law

Food hygiene in Ireland is governed by EU Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs, given effect by the European Communities (Hygiene of Foodstuffs) Regulations 2006, S.I. No. 369 of 2006. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) oversees enforcement, carried out by the HSE’s Environmental Health Service and other agencies.

What food businesses must do

  • Put in place a food safety management system based on HACCP principles
  • Make sure food handlers are supervised and instructed or trained in food hygiene to a level suited to their work
  • Keep premises, equipment and people hygienic
  • Control temperatures, allergens and cross-contamination

Training levels

The FSAI’s food safety training guidance sets out what food handlers should know at each level of their job — from induction to the skills needed to run a HACCP system. Your employer decides which level fits your role.

Enforcement

Inspectors can issue improvement notices, closure orders and prohibition orders, and closure orders are published by the FSAI. Good training and records help a business show due diligence.

Be clear about what this course is. It is online food hygiene training. It supports — but does not replace — your employer’s food safety management system, induction and on-the-job supervision.
