A course for food service workers that covers the basic requirements for safe food handling. Topics covered include preventing foodborne illness, food temperature control, personal hygiene, preventing cross contamination, preparing/serving food safely, cleaning and sanitizing. A single outbreak of food-borne illness can easily cost a food service operation $75,000 in legal fees, medical claims, cleaning and sanitizing, discarded food supplies, lost income from negative publicity and/or being shut down. Food safety training is one way food service establishments can proactively prevent such losses.

Class meets 2:00pm - 4:30pm at CSU Larimer County Extension Office, 1525 Blue Spruce Drive, Fort Collins. Preregistration is required, call 498-6008.
