HACCP Principles and Food Safety

The video tutorial begins with a discussion on the impact of COVID-19 and the importance of making the best of the situation. It introduces the ServSafe Food Manager Certification and offers a condensed study guide to help with preparation. The main focus is on explaining the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system, which identifies and manages food safety hazards. Practical examples are provided, such as cooking poultry to the correct temperature to prevent salmonella. The video also covers the importance of training when new kitchen equipment is introduced. It concludes with safety advice and an offer to send the study guide via email.
