• LeggeHygiene passport (hygieniapassi): needed by anyone who handles unpackaged perishable food, after 3 months of such work. Owners, trainees and volunteers too (Food Act, § 19).
• LeggeThe passport test has 40 true or false statements, and you pass with 34. It never expires. The employer must see the original and keep a record.
• LeggeSalmonella statement (terveydentilan selvitys): before work, staff who handle unpackaged food served unheated, or handled after heating, need a reliable statement of no salmonella (Communicable Diseases Act 1227/2016, § 56). It is a free interview by occupational or health-centre staff.
