ServSafe Food Handler Class
August 15 - Great Bend
Join Monique and Karissa to become ServSafe certified. This 3-hour course allows participants to learn about foodborne illness along with common behaviors that cause foodborne illness. We will also discuss various hazards, cross-contamination, allergens, sanitation, and more.
This certification is often required for those who work in the food industry, and the course is very helpful for those who regularly volunteer in service settings such as concession stands, catering, etc.
A $15 registration fee is required by August 11th and the ServSafe Food Handler Guidebook and exam are included. Come join us on August 15th at the Great Bend Extension Office from 1 pm-4 pm to get certified!
