Our Food Safety & Personal Hygiene training course helps food service employees understand how to prevent foodborne illness through proper personal hygiene, safe food handling, and sanitary kitchen practices. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food poisoning causes approximately 76 million illnesses, 300,000 hospitalizations, and up to 5,000 deaths in the United States each year. Foodborne illness is caused by bacteria and viruses such as salmonella and norovirus — often introduced through improper handwashing, cross-contamination, incorrect cooking temperatures, or inadequate refrigeration. This 19-minute program covers everything food service employees need to know to protect customers, coworkers, and their workplace from a foodborne illness outbreak. Available in English and Spanish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this training satisfy food safety regulations?

This course covers core food safety and personal hygiene principles consistent with FDA Food Code guidelines and CDC best practices for foodborne illness prevention. Please note that food service workers in many states and localities are required to obtain a food handler card or food safety certification through a state-approved program such as ServSafe. This training is an excellent foundational resource but may not substitute for state-mandated food handler certification — check your local health department requirements for specific compliance obligations.

How often should food safety training be conducted?

Most food safety experts and health departments recommend food safety training at the time of hire for all new food service employees, with annual refresher training thereafter. Many operations also conduct brief refreshers when menu changes, new equipment is introduced, or following any food safety incident or health inspection finding.

What are the most common causes of foodborne illness in the workplace?

The most common causes covered in this course include improper handwashing and poor personal hygiene, cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat foods, inadequate cooking temperatures that fail to kill pathogens, improper food storage and refrigeration allowing bacterial growth, and use of contaminated surfaces or equipment. This course addresses all five areas with practical, actionable guidance for food service workers.

Does this subscription automatically renew?

Yes. This is a prepaid subscription that automatically renews at the end of each term at the then-current price unless canceled. You can view, manage, or cancel your subscription at any time through your account portal.

What's the difference between Streaming, MP4, USB, and DVD?

Streaming gives you instant online access from any device — no download required. MP4 is a one-time download you host on your own platform such as an LMS, file server, or SharePoint. USB and DVD are physical media shipped to you, best for classroom training where internet access is limited or unavailable.

If I purchase the USB, can I copy the video to share with others?

No. The video on the USB is encrypted and licensed to only be played from the USB. It must be inserted in your computer for it to play.

What documentation is provided for compliance recordkeeping?

The kit includes a compliance manual, employee quiz and answer key, completion certificates, wallet/ID cards, an attendance log, a training outline, and kitchen, restaurant & food service supplemental documents — everything needed to document that training was completed.

How do I access the Documentation on the DVD?

You will need to access the DVD with a computer so you can browse to the Documentation folder.
