Food Safety
Certification Program Helps Foodhandlers Get
Trained
The
Health Unit provides services related to the
assurance of safe foods for human consumption.
In 1999, the Health Unit focused on education
of food handlers.
A
provincially recognized Certification Course,
developed by Public Health Inspectors, gave
food industry employees an opportunity to
improve their knowledge of food safety issues
and standards.
The aim of this program was to have at least
one certified food handler in each food
service premise. Over the year, 278 food
handlers received their Certificate in Food
Safety.
The
certified food handler then leads his or her
co-workers through example and knowledge of
all food safety aspects, therefore providing a
safer quality product for their customers.
