Free food handler certificate program
Volunteers and food sellers are requested to complete the free online learning program, dofoodsafely, to improve and refresh their knowledge of safe food handling.
The program is informative and fun. It takes about an hour to complete the six topics on food safety and a final quiz. Please DO NOT skip directly to the quiz as God sees everything and you can't lie! Participants who score more than 90 percent on the quiz are awarded a certificate. You need to obtain this certificate to register.
