Best Manager Food Safety Course I've Ever Taken

This course was great. Instructor was very informative and the time actually passed by so fast. This online course is so much better than sitting in a classroom. When I didn’t catch something I could easily go back and rewatch it until it clicked. I am completely confident to take and pass this exam.

Made Me Rethink How We Scoop and Serve

May 21, 2025

One part of the course that really stood out to me as an ice cream shop owner was the section on temperature danger zones. I always thought as long as the ice cream stayed frozen, we were in the clear—but the course explains how even brief temperature changes during scooping or restocking can allow bacteria to grow, especially in toppings or mix-ins that sit out. It also covered how sanitizing scoops between uses isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s a real food safety measure. Honestly changed the way I look at our prep line.
