ServSafe Class Offered By MSU Extension Valley County

Foodservice professionals make a commitment to food safety every day as they prepare and serve foods to the public. ServSafe training is offered to help them to understand all of the food safety risks faced by their operation. Being aware of these risks helps managers make decisions in their operations to keep their staff and customers safe.

ServSafe training is the most effective means of ensuring that each person in charge has this necessary knowledge and certification.

The eight-hour Food Managers course is designed for anyone who is preparing food for others to consume. The program blends the latest FDA Food Code, food safety research and years of food sanitation training experience. Managers learn to implement essential food safety practices and create a culture of food safety. All content and materials are based on actual job tasks identified by foodservice industry experts.

MSU Extension Agent Roubie Younkin will offer the eight-hour Food Handlers ServSafe Training Tuesday, May 9, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Preregistration is required by May 1 so books may be ordered to accommodate all students. There is a $100 fee to cover the cost of the books, training and meals.

Please contact the Valley County Extension Office at 228-6241 for more information and to preregister for the class.
