Food Safety

Food safety and sanitation are critical, ongoing processes that require strict procedures and training. All food service managers possess current Chester County Food Manager Certification and have successfully completed required training. A sanitation self-inspection using the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HAACP) format will be implemented in all schools in 2005. This format requires managers to follow purchased products through the various stages and temperatures from receipt to service. This is a second food safety measure. Food and Nutrition Services staff receives on-site food safety training. Special emphasis is placed on the use of proper temperatures, food preparation and service; proper attire, and frequent hand washing.
