Food Handler

ABOUT

Food safety is an essential element in the sound operation of establishments that are part of the biofood chain. It is the responsibility of every link in this chain to ensure that its foods are prepared safely. The application of simple precautions can prevent food poisoning and food-borne infections and protect consumers’ health.

Anyone who prepares food must make sure to receive training in and maintain food hygiene and food safety.

Obtaining this certification is a legal obligation for anyone who handles food. For more details, visit the MAPAQ website.
