Food safety training course being offered in April
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, licensed food establishments now must employ one supervisory employee that is certified in food safety and sanitation by taking a nationally recognized food certification class and obtaining a National Certificate of completion.
Completing the necessary training and passing the associated exam brings licensed food establishments into compliance with the Pennsylvania Department of Agricultures (PDA) Food Employee Certification Act.
?To help food establishments meet this requirement, Penn State Cooperative Extension is offering a Food Safety Training Course.
The course will be held at the Penn State Cooperative Extension Office in Waynesburg, Greene County from 9?a.m. to 3?p.m. on April 18, 19 and 25. The examination will be held April 26 at 9?a.m. Participants must attend all dates and times. The course fee per person covers the cost of the ServSafe® course book, instructional materials and refreshment breaks. Pre-registration is required.
