FOOD SAFETY & HYGIENE Level II
While it may seem that the incidence of foodborne illnesses increases year to year, the reality is people have been getting sick from food-borne illnesses since the beginning of time.
Indeed, many food preparation techniques, such as cooking, salting, canning, and fermentation, were borne out of a motivation to reduce food-borne illness. The enhanced capabilities of the modern food safety system to detect pathogens and issue recalls has only increased our awareness and actions to mitigate food safety emergencies.
Historically, the first suggested documented case of a known food-borne illness dates back to 323 B.C. According to doctors at the University of Maryland who studied historical accounts of Alexander the Great’s symptoms and death, the ancient ruler is believed to have died from typhoid fever, which was caused by Salmonella typhi.
This is a six-module course on food safety that aims at teaching you proper food handling practices that will protect your food-service operation while discussing topics related to food safety and quality including current issues regarding microbiological and viral threats from food, and the mitigation of chemical, bio-logical and physical threats through the use of HACCP- a food safety principle,SQF and ISO standards.
The course is also designed for beginners in food industries/establishment operators and front-line food service workers such as cooks, servers, dishwashers, and deli workers. It covers important food safety and worker safety information including foodborne illness, receiving and storing food, preparing food, serving food, cleaning and sanitizing, thus ensuring when working with food, you are able to prevent food-borne illness, contamination, allergic reactions and the spread of disease.
Impacts of recent regulations and effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Food Safety and Modernization efforts and the global threats like Bioterrorism on food production and distribution will be discussed. Methods of statistical process control and Economic benefits as related to maintaining constant product quality will be explained.
