“Food Safety on the Go” is a food safety training program for staff, volunteers and clients of home-delivered meal programs. It was developed by the University of Maryland’s Department of Nutrition and Food Science, in collaboration with the Meals On Wheels America under a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA/NIFA).
“Food Safety on the Go” is made up of 6 modules. Module 1, Food safety basics, is an overview of food safety for all staff and volunteers. Modules 2 through 5 are for specific individuals within a program: Module 2 is for the program director, Module 3 is for the food service management staff, Module 4 is for food service workers (staff and volunteers), and Module 5 is for drivers (staff and volunteers). Module 6, which is for clients, is in the form of magnets for drivers to give to clients. All staff and volunteers should complete Module 1, as well as other relevant modules.
This website provides course materials for both participants and trainers.
Thank you for your interest in "Food Safety on the Go."
