Food safety is an increasing challenge to those preparing and serving meals. Unfortunately, we hear more and more about food borne illnesses. In many cases, these illnesses could have been prevented had the food handler been advised on proper and safe food handling.
Serving food to many customers on a daily basis is a daunting task, and the potential for errors in purchasing, receiving, storing, preparing, holding, and serving at any food facility exists. Food handlers should not only base their concern for food safety on a foundation of goodwill and good intentions, but also on a sound understanding of sanitary policies and procedures.
A food safety certification course is a good opportunity for you and your staff to learn more about protecting those you serve from food borne illness. Attendees will learn up-to-date information on how to prevent food borne illness, along with many other current food safety topics.
The course is offered in two 9 hour sessions. All sessions must be attended and a passing score of 75% achieved on the exam to be eligible for certification.
