Food Preparation and Food Safety Training
A two day training session on Food Preparation and Food Safety was facilitated for the Northern primary school cooks involved in the AMEXCID/CARICOM/FAO School Feeding Project.
The first day’s training was attended by personnel from St. Peter Anglican School and Guinea Grass Roman Catholic School. Safe steps in food handling, cooking, and storage are essential in preventing foodborne illness. Adequate food safety knowledge for cooks participating in the feeding program is vital for positive food safety practice and adequate health procedures to be followed.
The second day training was attended Chan Chen Government School and San Joaquin Roman Catholic School cooks.
