And its not a good thing, but rather a painful 30 minute video that dumbs down basic food safety and restuarant methods so everyone, regardless of nationality or how long you've lived here, can pass a simple test of 37 questions, over topics and information that hasn't changed in over 20 years. Costs me $10 every 2 years, and its doesn't make me feel any safer, or less safer making people get one of these cards. Idaho nevetr did when I lived and worked there, it was up to each store, though the health inspectors came around alot more than here in Washington. I just wish there was a test only option, skipping the video, or better yet, watch the video on line then take the test online. I would like to say that most of what the class teaches I thought was comman sense to people, but then I met some people that are just plain ignorant. And not just imagrants either, but homegrown fenceposts of our own.
Basic Rules: Home or Restuarant
1) Personal Hygine-like washing your wands often.
2) Cross contamination-wash and sanitize all surfaces after use
3) Keep foods HOT(140 or above) or COLD(41 or below)
Easy, huh. Now pay me my ten bucks fools, you are food safety certified for Washington.
You know all that "common sense" stuff cuz you had such a great mom that made sure you learned it!! Remember, be patient with those less fortunate.. :)
