National Food Safety Education Month UNLV's William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration, which offers classes in applied food service sanitation, is taking part in National Food Safety Education Month. September has been designated as National Food Safety Education Month to focus attention on the importance of safe food preparation, both in restaurant and professional kitchens and at home. The college will take part in this month-long observance to show its support of the food service industry's commitment to food safety.
Classes are available to the public by registering as a special student for the class.
Instructors from the college can also present the class to interested groups. National Food Safety Education Month promotes food safety training and education among food service workers, and educates the public about the food service industry's commitment to serving safe food. The college is also encouraging food service establishments in the community to become a part of the Industry Council of Food Safety, the food service industry coalition that sponsors National Food Safety Education Month. Any establishment with at least one manager certified in food safety is eligible to become a part of the industry council, and many participating restaurants display the industry council decal on their doors. By supporting the council, the college demonstrates commitment to food safety throughout the year.
