Each of our cafeteria managers is a Qualified Food Operator and has been trained on public health code, food safety and sanitation and passed a national certification course (ServSafe). As qualified operators, they are responsible to instruct and oversee the daily operations that include; proper food temperature controls, food production; personal health and cleanliness and sanitation of the facility, equipment and supplies.

Reducing Food Borne Illness Risks
To reduce the risk of a food borne illness we only serve foods that are precooked. All poultry, beef and eggs are precooked and staff will then reheat to temperatures required by both Federal & State Health Code.
