How does your school nutrition program create a culture of food safety? One important step is to assure all school nutrition staff are trained and have a working knowledge of basic food safety principles. Scheduling professional development in food safety for your school nutrition staff and managers is just a click away with an Essentials of Food Safety Workshop to Go presented by JSI. Your school nutrition staff will explore food safety basics, and discuss how to create a culture of food safety in your school. Discover effective strategies to avoid cross contamination, practice proper hand washing, and check and record food temperatures to avoid the danger zone. Utilize these basics to ensure your students are safe when enjoying all of the delicious food that you make!
On January 17, 2017, Northborough and Southborough Public Schools enhanced their food safety techniques with the JSI Workshops to Go: Essentials of Food Safety. In addition to the activities you see below in the photos, several others were incorporated to ensure the nutrition staff could reiterate main points of the presentation including:
- “What type of hazard am I”?
- Spot the TCS foods
- Barriers to food safety
