This is the perfect course for anyone who works in nutrition and food service!
This course is based on the 2022 Food Code published by the US Public Health Service of the US Food and Drug Administration (USDA). Updated every 4 years, the Food Code provides guidance to food handling establishments on best practices to assure safe food handling. The provisions of the Food Code provide a system of prevention and overlapping safeguards designed to minimize foodborne illness; ensure employee health, industry manager knowledge, safe food, nontoxic and cleanable equipment, and acceptable levels of sanitation on food establishment premises; and promote fair dealings with the consumer.
The Food Code addresses controls for risk factors and further establishes 5 key public health interventions to protect consumer health. Food and nutrition care professionals who interact with commercial and/or health care food service operations need to have a working knowledge of the Food Code and how it affects operations. Participants who take this course will demonstrate an understanding of the content of the Food Code using case studies that help apply the knowledge learned.
