Whether you’re a professional chef, a home cook, or a volunteer serving food at an event, food safety training is essential.
It’s more than just washing your hands—it’s about knowing how to store, handle, and prepare food in a way that prevents illness and keeps everyone safe.
Every year, millions of people get sick from foodborne illnesses, many of which could be prevented with proper food handling.
Training ensures that food is kept at safe temperatures, cross-contamination is avoided, and hygiene standards are met.
By getting trained in food safety, you’re not just protecting your customers —you’re building trust and showing that you care about their health and well-being.
Let’s make food safe, one meal at a time!

Very good initiatives from these groups.
I must say. Indeed. There are a lot of good safety procedures that are not being practiced by these food vendors that are selling all over the place! Even the Syrians and Chinese.
This should be mandatory for all restaurants and food vendors. The safety of their customers should always be priority. Many can tell a tale and have complains
