So this weekend, I added a utility certificate to the mix. I now have my FoodSafe Level 1 Certificate! It will take 4 to 6 weeks to get to me on paper, but I have a temporary version they offered for download.
Many people in the past have had to register for in-person classes to get their FoodSafe, but the BC government began allowing people to do it online, on your own time, for up to 20 days in length if needed. This sounded better than trying to find in-person classes that fit my schedule, so I went to register. Half this review is about the processes involved.
Information in the course was interesting to say the least.
On the surface, the idea of avoiding bacteria-borne illness is wise and smart, but the need to keep the public healthy should be balanced with not tossing edible food into the garbage!
It's also come to light that many foods are still good well past their due dates/expiry dates. These dates contribute to a fair bit of food waste as well, and discussion did reach mainstream news sites at times over the past decade.
And whose idea was it to begin the insects as food discussion in 2019?! It's in the pop quiz "name that hazard" of unit one. I took a screenshot of it.
Would I recommend taking your FoodSafe Certificate training online? Only if you have this review pdf'd and ready to refer to before you register so you know what's coming when and how to deal with it. Otherwise, perhaps look for classes in your region and book a seat in one of those classes.
Otherwise, now that this gauntlet is conquered, I have my FoodSafe Level 1, which allows me to rent and operate kitchens or meeting spaces with kitchens in the future.
