ServSafe

Hi Katie, our site is based at a university where Aramark is the contracted food service provider. The bulk of our rotations are in Aramark locations; as such, our interns receive Aramark safety training. In the past, we have done a modified ServSafe module. I review the booklet with the interns, and they take a brief quiz. They receive no certification, so it is really a matter of them becoming aware of safety guidelines -- i.e. the temperature Danger Zone, proper food storage, etc. We have never felt the need to pursue the full ServSafe certification, as that has been more of a thing for location managers?
So, I would just think about the time and financial commitment, and the value your interns will receive. Is the certification necessary in your location? |
