Free Food Safety Seminar Scheduled for October 10
The McPherson County Extension Office will be hosting "The Food You Serve: Risky or Risk-Free" on Tuesday, October 10, 2-4 p.m. Food service owners, managers and staff are invited to attend this free food safety seminar. Please call (785) 633-9376 to register.
Governor Graves has proclaimed September as Kansas Food Safety Education Month. Serving safe food is more challenging now than ever before. Seminar participants will learn how keying in on six risk factors can ensure customer trust for years to come -- and prevent costly foodborne illness outbreaks. Sessions will focus on the new education-based inspection procedure, from facility plan approval to administrative orders.
The seminar will be led by state food protection investigators and guest presenters. Kansas Food Code booklets, food safety fact sheets and other educational materials will be available free of charge.
The seminar is sponsored by: the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), Albertson's, Dillon's, ITW Dymon, K-State Research & Extension, Kansas Restaurant and Hospitality Association, Kansas Food Dealer's Association, and KatchAll Industries.-30-
