Iowa State University Extension and Outreach- Greene County is offering a food safety training for food service managers on Monday, Dec. 12, at ISU Extension in Jefferson.
“Certification in ServSafe® meets the Food Code requirements in Iowa to have a certified food protection manager in all establishments,” said Renee Sweers, class instructor and ISU Extension and Outreach food and health specialist. “We live in a time when food safety hazards and risks are prevalent. Serving safe food is mandatory. This eight-hour program trains food service professionals in food safety requirements and best practices to meet them.”
According to Sweers, the program is based on the National Restaurant Association’s ServSafe® certification program and the FDA Food Code. The class is beneficial for foodservice managers from all areas such as schools, restaurants, convenience stores, childcare, senior meal sites and health care. Participants will receive a copy of the ServSafe® Manager training manual and will take the ServSafe® certification exam at the end of the class.
