HACCP Course Mayo: Food Safety Level 1 & 2 - online training with instant certificate.

HACCP requirements for Mayo food businesses

Mayo's food economy spans the Wild Atlantic Way tourist trail, busy market towns like Castlebar and Ballina, the world-famous Knock pilgrimage hospitality, and a strong agri-food and seafood sector. Every premises preparing, serving or storing food in the county must comply with EC Regulation 852/2004 and Irish S.I. No. 369/2006. That means every food handler needs HACCP-aligned training, and at least one trained food-safety supervisor must be on duty for every shift.

Mayo County Council Environmental Health Officers, working under the FSAI service contract, can issue improvement notices, closure orders and prosecutions where HACCP records, allergen controls or temperature monitoring are missing. Our online HACCP Course is the fastest, lowest-cost way to keep every team member compliant year round.

Mayo food sectors that require HACCP

• Hotels & pubs - Westport hotels, Castlebar town-centre pubs, Achill Island guesthouses, Knock pilgrimage hotels.
• Restaurants & cafes - chowder bars, seafood restaurants, coffee shops on the Wild Atlantic Way.
• Takeaways & fast food - chippers, pizzerias and kebab shops in every Mayo town.
• Bakeries & coffee shops - allergen-heavy environments needing strict labelling and cross-contamination control.
• Seafood & agri-food - salmon processors, shellfish handlers, butchers, dairy units and farm shops.
• Schools, creches & care homes - catering for children and vulnerable adults requires the strictest controls.

What our Mayo HACCP Course covers

Our online HACCP Course Mayo is mapped to the FSAI Food Safety Code of Practice and the seven HACCP principles. You will learn to:

1. Identify hazards - microbiological (Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Norovirus), chemical (cleaning agents, allergens) and physical.
2. Find your CCPs - cooking, cooling, hot-hold, cold storage, allergen handling, raw seafood prep.
3. Set critical limits - core temperatures, time-at-temperature, sanitiser concentrations.
4. Monitor with confidence - probe thermometer use, chiller and freezer logs, daily checks.
5. Take corrective action - fridge breakdowns, undercooked food, allergen incidents and complaints.
6. Verify the system - calibration, supplier audits, mock EHO inspections.
7. Document everything - traceability, withdrawal and recall, complaint logs and HACCP plan reviews.
