Course was long but very informative. Well worth the time
I went into this mandatory training expecting it to be dry and tedious, but I was pleasantly surprised. The content was clear, relevant, and thoughtfully presented. It felt more like a conversation than a lecture. I appreciated the clean layout, the practical examples, and how easy it was to follow. It was painless, informative, and honestly one of the better training modules I’ve completed. Great job to whoever put this together.
I have learned a lot about about how foodborne illness exist and how human handling process could contribute on a daily basis, hence the importance of food safety handling from receiving to serving from all areas, as well as the right time and temperature of handling the products.
Seems to provide exactly the information you need.
