Why is Food Safety Training & Certification necessary?
- Shared Responsibility. A major selling point of food is its quality – and food safety training is key to that quality. Food safety and sanitation are integral to operating a successful food service industry. The safety of food is a responsibility shared by producers, sellers, managers, and handlers.
- Affects Sales. Food safety not only affects continued patronage and sales of a food service business, but also public safety.
- Businesses Require. Many businesses require food safety training, so being food safety trained will increase your chances of employment. Furthermore, businesses are willing to pay higher wages to those trained.
- States Require. Because the CDC estimates – 76 million will become ill, 325,000 hospitalized, and 5,000 die annually in the U.S. due to foodborne infections – most states require training and a certification exam in food safety. Choose your state and get food safety trained.
Food Safety Handler Training
Individuals working in food facilities who are involved in preparing, storing, or handling food are generally required to obtain food handler training. This includes food employees that work in restaurants, cafes, bakeries, delis, mobile vendors, food trucks, bars, kiosks, convenience stores, and other food service employees.
Food handler safety training is often intended for entry-level professionals in the food service industry, such as servers, chefs, cooks, mobile food handlers, cashiers, and even c-store clerks. Food Safety Handler State Map
