According to the CDC, every year in the US, 48 million people are infected with a food borne illness, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 people die. Nobody wants this to happen; and, with proper training in safe food handling, it doesn_t have to. Foodborne illnesses can be prevented by insuring your employees are properly trained on basic food safety procedures. This program is targeted at everyone involved in the preparation, handling or service of food and outlines what these basic procedures are. In most of California, employers are responsible for maintaining records documenting that each food handler employed by them possesses a valid food handler card. These records must be provided to the state or local enforcement officer upon request. A Food Handler_s card is required in California, with the exception of Riverside, San Diego and San Bernardino counties, which have their own requirements to obtain a Food Handler_s card and is valid for 3 years from the date of issue. This program provides basic, introductory instruction on the six major elements of food handler safety:
- Food-borne illnesses
- Time and temperature control
- Personal hygiene
- Preventing contamination
- Cleaning and sanitizing equipment and utensils
- Preventing cross contamination
- Housekeeping and maintenance.
