ServSafe Celebrates National Food Safety Month with Free Resources for Restaurants
LANSING, Mich. – In an ongoing commitment to food safety, the Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association (MRLA) and ServSafe announce this year’s restaurant resources for National Food Safety Month (NFSM) 2021, which is held annually during the month of September. The theme for NFSM is Know Safe & Show Safe.
The rules for food safety haven’t changed. The way employees clean and keep restaurants safe is the same, but it’s become more important that their guests know that they know, and that their safety will be held to the highest standard. People are eager to return and understand the value restaurants bring to the community. NFSM reassures guests and showstheir safety is always the top priority.
“National Food Safety Month is a great tradition that we welcome each fall to educate our industry beyond the standard and improve current food safety procedures overall,” said Justin Winslow, President and CEO of the MRLA. “We are committed to helping the entire hospitality industry by providing essential free resources and information to ensure the health and safety of operators, employees, and guests.”
Over the course of five weeks, MRLA and ServSafe are offering restaurant owners and managers valuable resources to advance the mission of keeping all Michigan restaurants and diners safe and healthy. Each week of National Food Safety Month is designated to a specific topic and offers free posters, worksheets, quizzes and other materials to coincide with the topic.
Join the National Food Safety Month celebration by taking advantage of weekly resources found on michiganfoodsafety.com. MichiganFoodSafety.com has an elaborate bank of resources for the food service industry with informative tips and charts for home cooks to ensure food is safe at all meals.
Keep the NFSM conversation going all September long by sharing your food safety stories with ServSafe on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and using the hashtags #NFSM2021
