NFSC 350-Theme Meals Are Coming!

October 14, 2015

This course was designed to meet the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) core knowledge and competencies related to foodservice management for dietetics professionals. It will provide students with an introduction to the responsibilities of managers and supervisors in quantity foodservice establishments. Students will learn about planning, preparation, and service of acceptable, safe, and nutritionally adequate meals at a designated budgetary level. Additionally, students will gain first-hand experience in quantity food procurement, production, sales, and service. Students will also be taught techniques of food preparation and application to the development, modification and evaluation of recipes and menus and food products acceptable to diverse groups. Use of procedures appropriate to reduce waste and protect the environment will be encouraged. Practical steps to protect human health and promote environmental friendly practices will include properly disposing of contaminated materials, not wasting food and resources, recycling when possible and teaching others the value of sustainability.

Now, what's more exciting?
