Course description

Today we’re going to talk about food service safety. This topic is very important because people can get sick if germs, viruses, pesticides, or cleaning agents get into food or drinks.
In food service clean is not the same as safe. Hands can look clean, but if they’re contaminated with germs, they are not safe. Food can look and smell good, but if it is not handled properly, germs can poison it and make consumers sick.
That’s why you need to know what you can do on the job to help prevent food poisoning. Today, we’ll cover all the key steps from good hygiene to proper food handling and making sure food service materials and equipment are clean and safe to use.
