Foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,200 deaths in the United States each year. Most cases of foodborne illness can be prevented through education on proper cooking or processing of foods to destroy bacteria. Employing Food professionals who have ServSafe™ Certification helps ensure that safe food is served at local restaurants, school cafeterias, hospitals, nursing homes and catering services.
ServSafe™ Certification is a nationally accredited program sponsored by the National Restaurant Association.. Locally, it is available at the The Ohio State University Cooperative Extension office and taught in collaboration with the Clark County Combined Health District.
