Maintaining a Clean Food Service Environment

Course overview

Cleanliness in food service settings is far more than just aesthetics—it's a critical aspect of food safety, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (2016) defines cleanliness as being 'free of extraneous visible matter and objectionable odour.'
