Kitchen workers enhance skills and food safety

Kitchen workers enhance skills and food safety

Workers in the Work Ethic Camp (WEC) kitchen recently completed a four-hour ServSafe Food Handler program, the second level of the National Restaurant Association Food Safety Program. Food Service Director Clarice Shields provided the men several opportunities throughout the year to complete the program facilitated by UNL Extension Educators Nancy Frecks and Andrea Nisley. Shields was impressed by all the hard work put in by everyone who signed up and took advantage of the opportunity to improve their skills, knowledge and personal growth, as well as enhancing food safety at the facility. The training includes not only food safety, but also focuses on good personal hygiene, controlling time and temperature, preventing cross-contamination and cleaning and sanitizing. The course concludes with a certification test and everyone who successfully completed the program was awarded certification. #ServSafeCertification #KeepPeopleSafe
