Carvel Research & Education Center Home to Sussex County Cooperative Extension

Food safety in a food service establishment is non-negotiable.  Each year, an estimated 6 to 12 million Americans contract food-borne illness as a result of contamination by micro-organisms.  These illnesses are preventable.  Proper training is the key to preparing food in a safe environment.

The ServSafe® program is the premiere food safety certification offered by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF).  The program is designed for the food-service  professional. 

A ServSafe® certificate from the NRAEF will be awarded to individuals who complete the course and receive a  passing grade on the exam. The programs are taught by registered ServSafe®  instructors with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation.  The cost for the course covers the training, textbook, lunch and certification examination from the NRAEF.  This training helps prepare your establishment to meet Delaware Food Code regulations. Below are the 2011 offerings for ServSafe® and Delaware Dine Safe short course in Sussex. See sidebar (right) for dates and classes throughout Delaware.
