Hygiene proficiency

Welcome to the Finnish Food Safety Authority’s website for hygiene proficiency. Food hygiene proficiency implies ongoing updating of knowledge and skills for employees in the food business as part of the company’s in-house control.

Food hygiene proficiency can be exhibited by showing a certificate in hygiene proficiency, i.e. a so-called "hygiene passport" as designed by the Finnish Food Safety Authority, and which can be acquired by passing a hygiene proficiency test or producing a certificate in some appropriate examination or education.
