Washington County Penn State Extension Offers Food Safety Training Course
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, licensed food establishments now must employ one supervisory employee that has successfully completed a food safety training class.
Completing the necessary training and passing the associated exam brings licensed food establishments into compliance with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) Food Employee Certification Act.
To help food establishments meet this requirement, Penn State is offering a food safety training course.
The course will be held at the Washington County Penn State Extension Office in Washington on March 6, 2018 from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and March 13 from 9 a.m. - noon with the certification examination at 1 p.m. The course fee of $185 per person covers the cost of the ServSafe® course book and instructional materials.
Pre-registration is required. To register, log on to extension.psu.edu/food-safety/events and complete the required information. For those without internet access, register by contacting Penn State at 1-877-345-0691.
Penn State encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the physical access provided, please contact your local Cooperative Extension Office in advance of your participation or visit.
