Be appropriate in the kitchen

This week’s food safety infosheet is all about being appropriate in the kitchen, especially when it comes to food safety.  We used a couple of stories for this sheet: one from Texas about a post-complaint inspection where and inspector saw some inappropriate scratching by the staff, and another about a Salmonella outbreak in Pennsylvania.  You can download the sheet here.

We hear that some companies build their food safety training around the infosheets, and we are in the midst of evaluating their impact on changing practices with food handlers.  As we wrote last week, (and today’s sheet is a good example) through iFSN‘s infosheets, we try to put a compelling spin on food safety information, attempting to draw in even the laziest, creepiest and stonedest of food handlers.
