The Journal

A poor review from the health inspector published in the newspaper can easily cost negative publicity for a food service operation. Let us help train your staff to improve the quality and safety of your food service facility/restaurant.

The La Plata County Extension Office will sponsor a four-hour course for restaurant food service workers that covers the basic requirements for safe food handling and can fulfill requirements for Cottage Food Tier 1 producers as well. A class available for non-English speakers.

The course is Thursday, March 8, from 5 to 9 p.m. at the fairgrounds extension building, 2500 Main Ave., in Durango.

Cost is $35 per person. After successful completion of exam, attendees receive a Food Safety Works Wallet Card good for a year.
