According to the state Department of Agriculture, licensed food establishments now must employ one supervisory employee that has successfully completed a food safety training class. Completing the necessary training and passing the associated exam brings licensed food establishments into compliance with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) Food Employee Certification Act.

To help food establishments meet this requirement, Penn State Extension is offering a Food Safety training course.

The course will be held at the Washington County Penn State Extension Office, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 6 and and from 9 a.m. to noon March 13, with the certification examination at 1 p.m. The course fee of $185 per person covers the cost of the course book and instructional materials. For more information, or for a brochure, call the Penn State Extension Office in Westmoreland County at 724-837-1402.

Pre-registration is required. To register, log on to www.extension.psu.edu/food-safety/events and complete the required information. For those without internet access, register by contacting Penn State at 1-877-345-0691.
