Food Safety
Food Safety Instruction
Food safety education reduces the incidence of illness and death. It saves money by lowering employee absenteeism, increasing customer satisfaction, and improving local economics.
The UGA Cooperative Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Agent is the primary source of food safety education for consumers, food handlers and food service personnel in Coffee and Atkinson counties. The FACS agent, in collaboration with local health departments, routinely addressed the food safety requirements. She conducted classes to serve food service managers and employees as well as parents, childcare providers and senior citizens. One hundred food service employees from a multi-county area participated in six ServSafe programs. These individuals supervise more than 1,113 employees who serve 16,204 daily meals. (2006)
