Why Is Food Safety Important?
Food Safety Is Critical to Public Health.
Foodborne illness is caused by consuming food or drink that is contaminated by germs. Perhaps the food was not fully cooked or left out at room temperature. Perhaps someone who handled the food was sick or had germs on their hands. Even the simplest errors in food handling can cause someone to get a foodborne illness, and when this happens to two or more people, it is called a foodborne outbreak.
​
Educating food handlers is the best way to protect the public, food handlers themselves, and their families. Properly trained food handlers can improve food safety and reduce risks and behaviors commonly associated with food borne illness and outbreaks.
​
Training Is Required.
Because food borne illness and outbreaks can occur so easily, food safety training is required. That means that employees may not handle food without valid proof of training.
​
Well-trained Food Handlers Are More Valuable Employees.
Through training, food handlers gain important knowledge and skills that not only protect the public, themselves and their families from illness, but prepare them to take advantage of opportunities for thousands of jobs available in the food service industry. Employers who are hiring staff see well-trained food handlers as more desirable and more valuable employees.
