SafeBloom® Certified Pregnancy-Safe Restaurant
About Course
The European standard for restaurants serving pregnant guests.
SafeBloom® Certified Pregnancy-Safe Restaurant is an 8-hour online certification programme for EU restaurant owners, chefs and F&B managers who want to build a credible, auditable pregnancy-safe standard into their operation — from the kitchen to the dining room.
It is neither a theoretical course nor an alarmist one: every lesson ends with a practical sheet you apply on Monday morning. Pregnancy-safe does not replace your way of working, it extends it with extra care for a more vulnerable clientele.
