This course is an introduction to food safety. In some States or Provinces, when working in the food industry, it is required to pass a test that will guarantee a complete knowledge of that subject. This is not a government certified course; however, you will receive a Certificate of Completion if you pass all the quizzes successfully. Finally, we highly recommend that you inform yourself about the regulations of your own country. Indeed, careless handling of food can have deadly consequences.
