UPB's ServSafe Food Safety Course

University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Outreach Services will offer ServSafe food safety training courses in Bradford next month.

The training will take place from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on March 23, 25 and 30 in the sixth floor conference room of the Seneca Building on Marilyn Horne Way in downtown Bradford. Those seeking ServSave certification will need to attend all three classes at a cost of $199, which includes textbook and exam fees, while those being recertified should attend the first two classes at a cost of $99. The deadline for registration has been extended to Friday, March 6.

“This is the first time that Pitt-Bradford Outreach Services has offered the ServSafe course,” said Ann Robinson, director of the Business Resource Center. “In the past, most food service employees who needed the certification had to travel outside of Bradford and sometimes even outside of McKean County to find a course like this.”

Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture regulations require that every food service establishment employs at least one certified supervisory employee who has completed and passed an approved food-safety certification course such as ServSafe.

The course will be taught by certified ServSafe instructor Michael Kelly and will include information about food borne illnesses, how to identify food that can become unsafe, how food can become contaminated, ways to reduce the chance of contamination, hygiene, flow of food from purchasing to serving, cleaning, sanitizing and pest control.
