Program offers an enhanced presentation of food-safety concepts.
The food-safety information presented in this program is based on the 1999 FDA Model Food Code, the latest updates in the science of food safety, and best practices used in the industry. While preparing yourself to teach food safety using the new materials, you should complete a thorough review of these materials and consider the following food-safety updates. A foodborne illness is confirmed when laboratory analysis shows that a specific food is the source of the illness. The old defintion had exceptions for a single case of botulism and a chemical-caused illness. These exceptions no longer apply.
