Level 2 certificates are issued by training providers and awarding organisations, not by the government. Food handlers must be supervised and trained, but a certificate is not a legal requirement.
In England, chilled food that needs temperature control must not be kept above 8°C, and hot food must be held at 63°C or above.
In Scotland, reheated food must reach at least 82°C unless this would spoil its quality.
Businesses must give information about 14 allergens, including celery, lupin, mustard and sesame.
Prepacked for direct sale (PPDS) food must carry a full ingredients list with allergens emphasised.
Most food businesses must have a food safety management system based on HACCP principles.

No. The law says food handlers must be supervised and instructed or trained in food hygiene to suit their work. A Level 2 certificate is a common way employers show this.

Who issues the certificate?

Your training provider or its awarding organisation. There is no government exam.

What is the pass mark?

Each training provider sets its own assessment and pass mark. Our mock exam uses 30 questions and a 75% pass mark.

What temperatures do I need to know?

Chilled food not above 8°C in England, hot holding at 63°C or above, 75°C as a common core cooking check, −18°C for freezers, and 82°C for reheating in Scotland.

Does this cover Scotland?

Yes. Most topics are the same, and the guide notes where Scottish rules differ, such as reheating to 82°C.
