Food protection management program is June 10,17 Almost 50# of every dollar Ameri-

cans spend on food is spent on foods prepared by food service providers. And studies show that food safety is a top consumer concern today. Care- ful attention to food safety can pay off not just in bringing in dollars for your business, but also by keeping your customers safe and happy say Vi Mueller, Fayette County Extension Agent-Family Consumer Sciences and Sally Garrett Colorado County Extension Agent-Family Consumer Sciences.

The Food Protection Management Program is designed to train food ser- vice managers and employees about food safety. Through this program training participants will learn the lat- est information in sanitation, food flow, and facilities and equipment. Anyone who is responsible for safe food handling at restaurants, cafete-

rias, supermarkets, bed and breakfast inns, convenience stores, health care establishments, nursing homes, hos- pitals etc. should attend the training.

On June 10 and June 17, Mueller and Garrett will offer a two-day Food Protection Management Training Pro- gram in the meeting room at the Weimar Public Library, on Jackson Street in Weimar. This program is being co-sponsored by the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce.

Good food safety affects your bot- tom line in many ways by preventing bad publicity and lawsuits caused by food borne diseases, increased cus- tomer satisfaction because of your at- tention to food safety, improved prof- its through controlling food costs and waste, and improved relationships with health officials through quality- check inspections.
