MIFFLINTOWN -- The ServSafe Food Safety Manager Course, conducted by Penn State Extension, is being held at the Walker Grange, 6611 William Penn Highway, Mifflintown, PA from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, May 10, and classroom work from 9 to 11:30 a.m. on Monday, May 17, with the certification exam beginning that day at noon.
This training will be taught by Sharon McDonald, Senior Extension Educator and certified ServSafe instructor and will help participants learn how to prevent contamination of food by properly receiving, storing, preparing, cooking, cooling and serving the food, as well as proper methods of sanitizing foodservice facilities.
After completing the course and passing the multiple-choice exam with a 75 percent or higher score, participants will receive a ServSafe Food Protection Manager certificate. This certification is good for five years.
Our in-person classes will be following CDC, Pennsylvania Department of Health, and Penn State University guidelines related to COVID-19 mitigation and safety. The classroom will be set up to maintain social distancing and all participants will be required to wear a mask during the class. Prior to the start of the class participants will be asked to review and acknowledge a series of questions related to mitigating the spread of COVID-19 as a condition of participation in the class. If there is potential risk to other participants, individuals will be asked to participate at another time and will receive a full refund.
