Mostly beyond the needs of cottage food operation

April 8, 2026

I took this as a require food handler safety training in support of a cottage food operation registration. The course was fine, but it was clearly focused on professional operations, so a lot of the material (e.g. separate handwashing stations, three sinks, working with raw meat) was out of scope for a CFO. It would be helpful to have a course that is more specific to CFOs.
