EXT XAF.0088 - Serve It Up Safely™ online – Managing Your Response to a Food Recall
Description
Managing Your Response to a Food Recall is one course offered through the Serve It Up SafelyTM program. This course applies rules from the Minnesota Food Code, current research, and industry best practices as they pertain to preventing foodborne illness or injury throughout a food establishment. The use of food contaminated with physical, chemical, or biological hazards is one of the most common causes of foodborne illness or injury. Having a response plan for food recalls is one way to prevent the use of contaminated food in your food establishment. A food recall response plan should include specific actions for identifying and removing the food from your inventory, sanitation of the food storage area, and communication expectations. Food handlers that follow a recall plan minimize risks in the food establishment.
In each module, you will learn about potential food safety hazards and risky behaviors, and strategies you can use in your food establishment to minimize risks. Training recommendations and resources to use in your food handler training program are shared throughout the course. Additionally, a sample sanitation standard operating procedure for responding to a food recall is provided. You can download and customize it for your food establishment.
As a result of this course, you will be able to develop and implement a food recall response plan.
This course is not intended for food processors or manufacturers.
This course is approved for one hour of continuing education for Minnesota Certified Food Protection Managers
