Ready, Set, Food Safe

The purpose of this curriculum is to teach food safety to high school students as it applies in Idaho food service settings. Students can receive a State of Idaho-approved certificate in food safety.

The curriculum is divided into nine lessons. If students pass the certification test with a score of 80% or better, they can receive a food safety and sanitation certificate (also known as a food handler’s card). The training provided in this curriculum is approved for compliance with the mandatory demonstration of knowledge requirement of Section 2-102.11 of the Idaho Food Code.

Teachers that teach the food safety certificate class will be able to access the 4th edition of Ready, Set, Food Safe curriculum through this website.
