Food Safety Plus - ServSafe®Sessions

---

Since 1979, food safety has been my passion. Early in my career as a food service professional in healthcare, business and industry, and sales, food safety was always on my mind. Since 1985 and over a 36-year career as an associate professor and faculty member in higher-education, and founder of Food Safety Plus in 2011 my goal has been to share my knowledge on the importance of food safety with my students and professionals who service others while offering food and beverage options to their clients and the public at large. 

  Over a span of 37 years, I have taught over 5,000 post-secondary and hospitality and tourism industry professionals in food safety throughout the State of New York. Since the inception of Food Safety Plus in 2011, I have traveled many thousands of miles to provide  food safety training as it aligns with the FDA Food Code to individuals of all abilities and professional levels, and occupations within the hospitality and tourism industry. The "Who Should Attend" page showcases the over 100 hospitality and tourism industry sectors, both non-profit and for-profit, and over 200 occupational titles of registrants that have completed my food safety training sessions.

All Food Safety Plus training sessions take place at the Hampton Inn by Hilton Buffalo-Amherst, the first hotel in North America certified in Universal Design and the first Universal Design certified hotel in Hilton's global portfolio. The Hampton Inn by Hilton Buffalo Amherst highlights an emerging standard for socially responsible design, is welcoming as possible for all guests of all abilities, and it is the first hotel in the country that incorporates inclusive elements throughout the property.

All Food Safety Plus food safety training sessions follow strict COVID-19 guidelines and the Hampton Inn by Hilton Buffalo-Amherst is perfect property highlighting registrants' personal safety. There is ample parking, food safety training takes place in the comfortable “low ambient noise" room, and lunch service is prepared on-site where registrants can enjoy their mid-afternoon break in the spacious lounge area. 

I offer both ServSafe® Food Manager and ServSafe® Food Handler credentialing. Registrants that pass the ServSafe®  Manager exam are compliant for 5 years. All food safety training focuses on the FDA Food Code Standards. Registrants that seek the ServSafe®  Food Handler certification  are issued this 3-year credential at the completion of the session.  

Both ServSafe® Food Manager and Food Handler Training Sessions take place on Wednesdays from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm. Upcoming 2022 dates include: April 27th, May 18th, June 15th, August 23rd, August 24th, September 14th, October 19th, November 16th. Registrants who successfully pass the  ServSafe®   Manager exam are compliant for 5 years. Registrants that seek the  ServSafe®  Food Handler certification  are issued the 3-year ServSafe Food Handler credential at the session completion.
