What is food handlers training?
Food handlers training, also called food safety training, teaches employees in restaurants and other food service facilities the basics of safe food preparation. Food safety is so important that three federal agencies, states, and local health authorities collaborate to create food handler training standards.
The exact content and requirements for food handlers training vary by location. Still, it usually includes cooking times, safe heating and cooling, sanitization standards, risk factors for foodborne illness, and other crucial food safety guidelines.
