This Food Safety Training is not intended to be all-encompassing. Good Shepherd Food Bank’s main focus for this training is on inspecting donated and purchased food, and transporting, storing, and distributing food safely. Programs that prepare hot or cold meals for consumption by community members should seek increased food safety training in addition to this course.
