Abstract: School food service personnel are presented with a handbook designed to help foodservice operations provide food that is wholesome, sanitary and safe. Foods eaten by children must be free of bacterial pathogens. Microbial contamination or chemical toxicants in foods may cause food poisoning or foodborne disease. Thus, school foodservice has a responsibility to maintain high standrds of cleanliness. Guidelines are given for basic sanitation practices in food storage, preparation, transportation, handling and clean-up. Personal hygiene hints are recommended. Insect and rodent pests represent a health hazard which can be avoided by prevention and control. Safety and sanitation checklists may be used as effective management tools for improving foodservice facilities. Appendices include a bibliography of information resources, food storage rules, a self-inspection questionnaire, and subject outlines with audiovisual aids for use in inservice training programs for foodservice personnel.
