Description

As food safety content becomes increasingly complex, it presents more academic challenges to students. ServSafe® Essentials, 5th edition textbook was designed with students’ needs in mind.  This edition has been updated to reflect the changing needs of a diverse and expanding workforce in the foodservice and restaurant industry. A significant percentage of the updates to the text were the direct result of feedback from seasoned instructors. The streamlined delivery of food safety content in the Fifth Edition will create a learning experience that is activity-based and easily comprehended by a variety of student populations. The updated text will help readers prepare for examinations, and more importantly, it will promote adherence to food safety practices in the operation. Based on a new job task analysis revised exclusively for the Fifth Edition, the book reflects the latest updates to the FDA Food Code, new science-based and industry best practices and prepares students for the ServSafe® Food Protection Manager Certification Exam.
