Food Safety in Aged Care

Older people are more vulnerable to foodborne illness and the effects of unsafe food handling. That’s why food safety is essential in aged care. This Ausmed Training Module explores common food safety risks and the critical role that care and kitchen staff play in preventing harm. Learn how to handle, store and serve food safely, manage allergens and declared ingredients, and protect older people with conditions like coeliac disease. Gain the knowledge and confidence to help ensure every meal you serve is safe, properly prepared and supports older people’s wellbeing.

All staff who store, prepare, handle and serve food.
