The acronyms FATTOM is very crucial for everyone to know even though one is not working in a public food place.

September 30, 2025

FatTom si an acronyms that highlights 6 stages bacteria can grow faster in food. These are:

Food – Acidity – Temperature – Time – Oxygen – Moisture.

While all of them are very important to know, for me the stand out one is Temperature. It shows you the diffence between the cooking temperature, the fridge temperature and the danger zone temperature which are some key elemeents to know in order to prevent the growth of bacteria in food.

MASTERING FOOD SAFETY: MY AAA FOOD HANDLER COURSE EXPERIENCE

September 29, 2025

I recently completed the AAA Food Handler Course, and it was an excellent experience! The course was well-organized and easy to follow, with clear explanations of food safety, hygiene, and handling practices. I especially appreciated the practical examples and visual aids, which made it easy to understand important concepts like TCS foods, temperature danger zones, and proper thawing methods.

The interactive quizzes helped reinforce the lessons, and I felt confident applying the knowledge in a real-world kitchen setting. Overall, the course was engaging, informative, and very user-friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their food safety skills and meet certification requirements.

I’m thankful there wasn’t a bunch of fluff but enough context to make everything make perfect sense. This is my first time taking a Food Manager course and this one was clear and helped me feel confident for my exam. My only critique would be that it would have been nice to see how much time I had left or how many slides/modules I had left so I could have planned my day better. I ended up having to take the course over 2 days because I did not allow enough time on the first day.

Relatively clear and concise

December 4, 2024

The demonstration muddied the waters between criminal offenses and license revocations regarding server to client interactions. The program gives off the impression that business owners will do whatever it takes to distance themselves from irresponsible servers and forego accountability to avoid repercussions when it comes to the employees they license to serve alcohol. Many of the questions on reviews involved answers that were deemed incorrect when the trainee is directed to choose a revocation of employees’ license or potential criminal charges based on the employee’s actions, revocation being the correct answer. The trainee should not be inclined to choose between two answers that are deemed as nuanced when both outcomes are possible.

Adrienne

Food Manager

October 21, 2025

A food manager plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of a food establishment. To stay aware of what is happening, they must be actively engaged, observant, and organized. One of the most effective strategies is simply being present. Walking the floor, observing food preparation, and monitoring customer service gives the manager a firsthand view of daily operations. This visibility helps identify problems early, such as safety violations, poor hygiene, or inefficiencies in the kitchen.

Maria G.

Informative Course

October 21, 2025

Informative, but the speaking in the video goes fast & there is no way to slow it down on a tablet or phone. The video locks up after the question in the Examples of Cross Contamination portion & then the music plays over the voice for the remainder of the section.
