EXT XAF.0021 - Serve It Up Safely™ online – Minimizing the Risk of Foodborne Illness in Your Food Establishment
Description
Minimizing the Risk of Foodborne Illness in Your Food Establishment is one course offered through the University of Minnesota Extension 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 the spread of foodborne illness-causing pathogens throughout a food establishment. There is no one single action a food handler can take. Minimizing food safety risks involves employee hygiene standards, equipment design and sanitation, purchasing standards, safe food handling practices, and managerial systems to monitor and correct behaviors. Food handlers who are properly trained and supported are essential to minimizing risks in your 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, several modules contain sample sanitation standard operating procedures that can be downloaded and customized for your food establishment.
As a result of this course, you will be able to develop and implement sanitation standard operating procedures and monitoring systems that minimize the risk of foodborne illness in your food establishment.
This course is approved for one hour of continuing education for Minnesota Certified Food Protection Managers.
