Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to safely prepare food in large quantities! It’s not like food preparation at home. This program helps organizations and their volunteers understand the risks of preparing large volumes of food and the important food safety practices that must be implemented to ensure a safe event.

Even if your organization has been preparing food for years, things change, and volunteers must be up-to-date and knowledgeable about rules and regulations governing food safety. Don’t risk your customers’ health or your organization’s reputation. This program is for volunteers preparing food for events such as church fundraisers, fire company barbecues, booster club food sales, and many other types of events where food is served to the public. Volunteers will learn the causes of foodborne illness as well as safe food handling practices related to: Preventing Cross Contamination; Controlling Time and Temperature; Good Personal Hygiene; Cleaning and Sanitizing; and Planning a Successful Food Event.
