Education Classes

The purpose of this program is to prevent foodborne illness due to lack of operator knowledge. The Center for Disease Control estimates that 75 million people in the U.S. each year are sickened by foodborne illness, including approximately 323,000 people hospitalized and 5,000 deaths. One of the major causes of foodborne illness is the level of food worker knowledge.

The Calhoun County Public Health Department offers several classes intended to provide food service workers with the knowledge needed to operate a safe and sanitary food service operation.

Basic	Food Safety Class – Discussion of basic safe food handling procedures and hygienic practices - $21/person. Classes are half-day.

Intermediate	Person-in-Charge Class – Discussion subjects of owner, operators, and managers interest. Subjects include Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Point (H.A.C.C.P.) principles, standard operating procedures, and record keeping - $52/person. Classes are half-day.

Serve-Safe classes are scheduled on an as-needed basis based on a minimum number of attendees.
