Sanitation/Hygiene for Food Service Employees

(14 min.) Foodborne illness is quite prevalent in the home, restaurants, hotels, retail establishments, even school cafeterias. Bacteria is everywhere. Micro-organisms are everywhere. But there's a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Most bacteria and micro-organisms aren't harmful. In fact, less than 1% of micro-organisms create problems for the human being. We need micro-organisms to digest our food, decompose our sewage, and return waste products back to the soil. In your job, we're concerned with the micro-organisms that are harmful.

Topics included in this safety video are: pesticides, toxic metal, sanitizing, cleaning, food storage, insects, rats and mice, thermometers in the refrigerator and freezer, cutting boards, and jewelry.

Program comes with a CD-ROM of written materials, including test questions and answers. English title also includes PowerPoint presentation.
