About Food Safety Training
From a food safety perspective, the grocery industry is different from other food industries. Employees must be skilled in food safety practices to prevent contamination any time they receive, prepare, handle, hold or sell food.
“The increasing complexity of the food industry, the improved ability to identify/trace foodborne outbreaks and other economic, staffing, cultural and behavioral challenges make it imperative that food protection managers know and control the risk factors that impact the safety of the food they sell or serve.” –FDA Food Code
Our various training and educational resources provide your supermarket staff with the tools they need to successfully achieve food manager certification and follow safe food handling protocols. To meet your learning needs, we offer a variety of in-classroom and online training curriculums.
