About
As a food handler, it can be easy to forget some of the basic practices that help protect customers from pathogens and prevent food contamination. No matter whether you’re a buser, server, host, or cook—if you handle food at your place of work in any way, you risk transferring pathogens over to your customers.
Food safety is a crucial element for any establishment that serves food or drink. It protects both your employees and customers, as being exposed to rotten or contaminated food can risk the health of everyone involved. It can also contribute to the success of your business, as very little ruins the reputation of a restaurant faster than food that makes the customers sick.
