Food safety management training will take place Jan. 26 by distance delivery.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will offer the certified food protection manager workshop by Zoom from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A computer-based certification exam will follow the training, with proctors in Fairbanks, Glennallen, Palmer, Sitka and Valdez. Proctors may be available in additional communities, as requested.

State regulations require that all food establishments have at least one certified food protection manager on staff to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.

The registration deadline is Jan. 14, so participants will receive the study guide beforehand. Registration and more information are available at https://bit.ly/3mtgb7o. Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made seven business days in advance to the instructor, Julie Cascio, at jmcascio@alaska.edu.

The $200 fee includes one certification exam. For additional information or to request another location, contact Cascio at 907-745-3677 or jmcascio@alaska.edu.
