Why should you take a Food Handlers course or become a CFPM?

More than half of foodborne illness outbreaks in the United States are related to restaurants or delis.

Sick food workers have been linked with past foodborne illness outbreaks.

To combat restaurant-related outbreaks, many public health agencies encourage or require food safety certification for restaurant kitchen managers and sometimes workers.

Food safety certification efforts are based on the belief that certification leads to greater food safety knowledge.

As well as state and local health jurisdictions require CFPM certification and food handler training for food service employees in Texas.
