   Ready, Set, Food Safe
 

(A Food Service Food Safety Program for High School Students)

 

This program teaches food safety, as it applies in Idaho food service settings, to high school students.  Students can receive a State of Idaho—approved certificate in food safety.

The curriculum is divided into nine lessons and requires four to nine hours to teach, plus an additional hour for students to take the exam.  If students pass the exam (a score of 80% or better), they will receive a food safety and sanitation certificate.  This training is approved for compliance with the mandatory supervisor training requirements of Section 02.19400.02 of the Rules Governing Food Safety and Sanitation Standards for Food Establishments (UNICODE).

The curriculum consists of a binder containing nine lessons, a CD with PowerPoint slides for each of the nine lessons, a CD with instructions for all the activities, student “fill-in” notes, and the exam.
