Testimonials

Food Safety Associates is excellent in providing my employees with the skills and the knowledge to pass the Certified Food Safety Manager exam for my managers. Dr. Manos was very clear and concise with his lectures. He was quick to explain any confusing aspect of the material to his students. He always had several examples to help put the rules into perspective. I also really appreciate the availability of the classes being offered several times throughout the year. Thank you for providing this terrific service for our community. –Jo, Restaurant General Manager

Hi, Thank you, for an informative and necessary class. It's a real eye-opener to people. They need to be aware of the potential hazards of contamination from foods. I learned a lot about food borne illnesses that I didn't know. The Instructor made the class interesting and fun, with examples and stories. Thank you again,
–Ronnie
