Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada estimate that every year up to 4 million (1 in 8) Canadians suffer from illnesses caused by foodborne bacteria. Common food safety violations include insufficient pest control, unintentional contamination, inadequate hand washing, poor sanitization, and improper temperature control.
Proper training of food safety is essential for establishments handling food to protect the people consuming the food and their business. X Inc Canada offers comprehensive classroom-based and interactive instructor-led virtual training with participants eligible to take the Managing Food Safety (MFS) Certification Exam upon completion.
Based on the content of the Restaurants Canada’s (formerly the Canadian Restaurant and Food Service Association) Food Safety Code of Practice, MFS is a comprehensive review of food safety issues and safe food handling practices, including:
To ensure that the information is covered comprehensively and to allow time for the MFS examination, most instructors teach the course over one or more days. Online training takes about eight hours to complete.
Students must score at least 70% to pass the final exam. There are 60 multiple-choice questions on the exam, so you will need 42/60 correct.
The 1-Day Course Fee is $100.00 + tax. Each participant receives a copy of the session workbook and related handouts; proctoring and administration of the MFS Examination; and a digital copy of the Food Handler Certificate (accepted by all Regulatory Health Authorities in Canada).
