You want to cook a meal for people in day centre others have food hygiene certificate you do not need one or can be covered on theirs?

In the United Kingdom, anyone who handles or prepares food for human consumption is required to have a food hygiene certificate, as stated by the Food Safety Act of 1990. This includes individuals working in day centres, as well as other food-handling establishments such as restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets.

The certificate demonstrates that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to safely handle and prepare food, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and ensuring the health and safety of those who consume the food.

If you do not have a food hygiene certificate, you may not be allowed to cook a meal for people in a day centre, as this could pose a potential risk to their health and safety.

However, if someone else present at the day centre does hold a valid food hygiene certificate, they may be able to supervise you while you cook, provided they are actively involved in the food preparation process and can ensure food safety standards are met. This would allow you to cook a meal for people in the day centre without needing your own certificate, but it is important to note that the responsibility for food safety still lies with the certificate holder.
