Food Service Safety Month is observed in December and was established to remind everyone, from employees in the food service industry to people at home, that food safety is of great importance.<\/p>\n
While Food Service Safety Month focuses on keeping food prepared in the service industry safe, it also serves to remind people to follow proper food safe procedure to ensure what they prepare stays free of risks.<\/p>\n
In commercial food service, Food Service Safety Month is a reminder to have a rigorous food safety training program for the staff with appropriate signage to always keep food safety in mind.<\/p>\n
Likewise, food service establishments are required to have a person-in-charge, an owner, or manager of a food establishment be a Certified Food Manager (CFM).<\/p>\n
Each December, this awareness campaign seeks to ensure individuals in the food service industry are trained and following safe procedures and principles.<\/p>\n
Food safety training and education is the key to ensuring a culture of food safety in food-service organizations. By training and educating both the managers and the front-line workers about threat to food safety, safety can remain important to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.<\/p>\n
Foodborne illness are classified or categorized in various different ways: type of pathogen, type of microorganism, most common, most deadly, or the type of illness they afflict on humans.<\/p>\n
Generally though, foodborne illnesses are divided into two classifications and categorized by the type of illnesses they create: foodborne infection or foodborne intoxication.<\/p>\n
A third hybrid classification also exists: foodborne toxin-mediated infections. These illnesses are caused by eating food containing harmful microorganisms – which then also produces toxins while in the intestinal tract.<\/p>\n
