The deadline is July 14 to register for a certified food protection manager workshop that will be offered July 28 by web conference.

The food safety workshop, which will be hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, will meet from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The training will be followed by a proctored test in Fairbanks, Ketchikan, Palmer and Sitka within a week.

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