The ServSafe Essentials, Fifth Edition has been redesigned and is ideal for one- or two-day classroom instruction and certification. It builds upon an established track record of superior training and a heighted awareness of foodborne illness prevention with the latest scientific best practices and proven instructional techniques. The new enhancements work together to improve training, lessen student's intimidation, provide means for greater comprehension and better application, helping students to prepare for ANSI-CFP accredited exams and ultimately helping to increase food safety back in the operation. Based on the 2009 FDA Food Code, it covers critical principles including personal hygiene, cross contamination, time and temperature, receiving and storage, food safety management systems, training hourly employees and more.
