Baton
Rouge, La. – The Southern University Land-Grant Campus concluded the final
session of its Food Safety Certification Program in Alexandria, La. on December
17, 2018.
The
five-session training, which was conducted by SU Land-Grant Campus employees Dr.
Fatemeh Malekian, L’Asia George, Emily King and William Augustine, consisted of
Food Handling and a Cooking Demonstration.
The
demonstration provided participants with a visual concept of the five chapters
presented during the food handler trainings. Research Assistant L’Asia George prepared
a Fajita Chicken Garden Salad in the well-equipped Southern University Agricultural Mobile Education Unit’s cooking station.
She cleaned and sanitized all the counter tops and used the handwashing sink to
wash her hands between tasks. Ms. George
then utilized the three compartment sinks to wash the utensils, salad bowls and
other containers. The microwave was used
to heat the pre-cooked fajita chicken strips.
The
food demonstration showed the participants the proper way of implementing food
safety practices while preparing a meal. At the end of the demonstration, every
participant requested and signed up to take the SU Land-Grant Campus’ ServSafe
Certification course to continue learning more about food safety.
The
participant also received a certificate of completion at the end of the
training.
Funding
for the training is provided through a grant from the Louisiana Office of
Community Services titled, “Enhancing
Capacity of Louisiana Small Farms and Businesses.”
In
addition to the Food and Farm Safety Certification Program, the SU Land-Grant
Campus also offers certifications in Sustainable Urban Agriculture, Master
Small Ruminant and Small Business Development.
