Food & Farm Food Safety Certification
The Food Safety Certification Program provides basic training to farmers and food production managers on how to prevent, minimize, and reduce the risks of food product contamination during farming, purchasing, receiving, storing, preparing, cooking, reheating, and serving. Federal guidelines for the food production facilities are covered for participants to learn the importance of food safety from farm to table.
Program Overview
The course introduces biological, chemical, and physical hazards and explains federal guidelines to clean and sanitize food areas, contact surfaces, utensils, and farm facilities. Instructors will also present the route of pathogen contamination in the farm through the 4Ws: water, waste, wild and domestic animals, and worker’s health and hygiene.
What is Food Safety?
Food safety involves the safe handling of food from the time it is grown, packaged, distributed, and prepared to prevent food-borne illnesses. Food safety is the responsibility of those who handle and prepare food commercially for delivery to consumers, and of consumers who prepare and eat food in their homes.
Levels of Certification
The Pre-ServSafe course will prepare participants for going through the ServSafe certification program.
ServSafe certificates will be issued by ServSafe but the trainings will be conducted and the certificates will be presented to the participants by the SUAREC faculty.
