Retail Meat and Poultry Processing Training Modules
Trainer's Guide for Teaching Retail Meat and Poultry Indrustry Food Handlers

The Retail Meat and Poultry Processing Training Modules' curriculum is a comprehensive training guide designed to assist you in teaching retail meat and poultry industry food handlers. The program emphasizes the importance of food handling practices that reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

This trainer's guide features six training modules.

  1. Sanitation: The Foundation of Food Safety
  2. Safe Sandwich Making
  3. Curing & Sausage Making: Food Safety Principles
  4. Grinding Meat: Food Safety Principles
  5. Vacuum Packaging: Food Safety Principles
