Cooking for Crowds is a food safety course intended specifically to address safe food handling of foods served by volunteer-based organizations. It covers topics such as how food becomes unsafe, preparation practices to keep food safe, and purchasing and storage of food and supplies.

Volunteers will learn:

• Risks involved with preparing food in large quantities and how to prevent them
• Causes of foodborne illness
• How to prevent cross-contamination
• How to control time and temperature of food
• How to practice good personal hygiene
• How to clean and sanitize before and after preparing food
• How to plan a successful food event

The course costs $20 for individuals and $50 for a group or organization.

To sign up, visit the website or call 1-877-345-0691 Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
