FOODSAFE Level 2 Online

As an owner, supervisor or manager in a food service or food processing establishment, you can create and nurture a culture of food safety where food safety is valued and emphasized at every step of the food preparation process. The creation of a culture of food safety, and the essential tools and practices that support that culture, is the focus of FOODSAFE Level 2 (FS L2).

The course content of FS L2 has been revised to address a broader and more varied target audience, which may include the following:

  • Managers or owners of restaurants and/or food-related businesses (this could include bakers, caterers, chefs, smaller scale food processors, hospitality industry employees, workers in food banks, soup kitchens, etc.)
  • Stakeholders charged with creating and implementing food safety and sanitation plans, particularly in the food service industry
  • Individuals responsible for training existing and new staff on food safety issues and practices
  • Students beginning their careers in food- and hospitality-related fields

The course covers important food safety and worker safety information including foodborne illness, receiving and storing food, preparing food, serving food, cleaning and sanitizing.
