Food Safety: Resources and Training
Through our association with the Feeding America network, USDA, national and regional food donors, we are obligated to provide the safest food system available to our program participants. This requires stringent food-safe inventory management, storage, transportation and handling practices. Each year we provide Food Safety Training to your agency staff and volunteers which serves as a reminder of our collective safe food handling requirements. Here at Second Harvest, we’re inspected by Feeding America, their donors, Minnesota Department of Agriculture and state agencies. We’re also required to satisfactorily pass a stringent food safety audit bi-annually, which is conducted by the American Institute of Baking (AIB). Our team, working directly with our food, are also required to be ServSafe® certified. Please know that our Food Safety Training can be found year-round on the Agency Resources section of our website. We also post food recalls in this area, which are another important facet of your sound food safety management. Please watch for our Food Safety Training coming to you in August and make sure your staff and volunteers are trained to ensure a safe food system for all of our neighbors in need.
