Why Attend ?

Schools participating in the Child Nutrition Program (CNP) are mandated to write HACCP-based food safety programs. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a preventative system to reduce the risk of foodborne illness through appropriate food handling, monitoring, and record keeping.

Penn State Cooperative Extension has partnered with the Pennsylvania
Department of Education to train schools to write these food safety programs. Training will be conducted by Cooperative Extension Educators with extensive experience in food safety instruction and training in process-based HACCP.

Educators will use a training program developed by the National Food Service Management Institute (NFSMI).
