DEERFIELD, IL--(Marketwire - March 19, 2010) - Retailers and foodservice operators face new challenges with increased regulation and execution of best practices.

"Managers need to know food safety and the critical importance of its role, and they need to learn how to share food safety knowledge with every employee. ServSafe® gives them the knowledge and tools to do just that and we are thrilled to be offering this opportunity in conjunction with The Summit," said Laurie Lehmann, Director of Education for The Food Safety Summit. "Some of the concepts managers will understand with ServSafe® training include: sanitation; the flow of food through the operation; and sanitary facilities and pest management. ServSafe® is the training that is learned, remembered, shared and used, and that makes it the strongest food safety training choice for your operation."
This course qualifies for a total of 16 hours of continuing education credit, of which 4 hours is "Train-the-Trainer" and includes the ServSafe® Certification Exam and Certificate. The "Train-the-Trainer" portion of the seminar is designed for those who have passed the first 12 hours of the course with a score of at least 90% and are now ready to train others.
