The purpose of this course is to expose Mississippi food handlers to important Food Safety
concepts. This course is not intended to train microbiologists or
sanitarians, but to instill a basic understanding and to create sensitivity and awareness toward critical food safety concepts (e.g. hand washing, cross-contamination, temperature control, etc).
This is a basic concepts course for Mississippi and should not be confused with the Manager's Course that is
required for the 'Person In Charge' in many states. If you have questions about
what course is required for your jurisdiction and
job classification, we recommend you contact your local Environmental Health department. They are also a good resource for information surrounding your unique food handling and preparation situation.
