The Hygiene Passport is a certificate to prove a person’s hygiene proficiency. The purpose of the Hygiene Passport is to promote general food safety. A person working in the food industry must know how to handle food in a safe and hygienic way.
According to the Finnish Food Act, a Hygiene Passport is required if a person is handling unpackaged and perishable foods. A café, restaurant, canteen, kiosk, fast food restaurant, food shop, kindergarten or food processing factory are examples of workplaces where a Hygiene Passport is required
The Hygiene Passport must be obtained within three months of starting work. These three months are calculated retroactively to also include such prior work in the food business, where a Hygiene Passport is required.
The Hygiene Passport is valid until further notice. This means that the Hygiene Passport will not expire, unless a change in the law later changes the situation.
