Summary: Meets the training needs for Food Handlers
Review: As an instructor who teaches Food Safety classes to front-line employees, I find this text an excellent resource. It is comprehensive yet still easy-to-understand, a difficult combination to achieve for some of the technical aspects of foodborne illness, pathogens, etc. The cartoon-style drawings add to the enjoyment. I have had many trainees who share these positive comments. Only negative comment would be to include color photos instead of the old, grainy B&W.Also recommended for the Food Safety Trainer: "Keyword Index: 1999 FDA Model Food Code"

Summary: An excellent food safety training resource
Review: Essentials of Food Safety & Sanitation is a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to help food workers produce safe food. In my job as editor of a food safety-oriented newsletter, I review and have access to a lot of training materials, but "Essentials" is the one I refer to the most for current, reliable information.

Summary: Essential of Food Safety & Sanitation
Review: I am using your textbook for a class I teach for the Oklahoma City/County Health Department. I Love It! The class I teach is the Food Service Operator's Certification Course that is required by all food service operators in this county. I am a Registered Dietitian who is contracted by Oklahoma State University-OKC and Francis Tuttle to teach the class for the health department. It is kind of a community service offered by the two schools. I have only been teaching the class for three years now, and by far your book is the best. Your book has made my job so easy and so much fun! Some of my students are returning to do the re-certification class and bringing managers in who have not taken the class in 20 years. In the past, they have just challenged the test every three years, because they thought the class was too boring. (and they knew it all).
I would highly recommend this book to educators in the nutrition field. I think all nutrition majors need to know this important information. I also recommend it for a reference for my food service managers in my nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Summary: Study Guide Available to accompany Essentials Textbook
Review: I wanted to make your users aware of the fact that a Study Guide has been developed to accompany Essentials of Food Safety and Sanitation. There are a growing number of states in America that require retail food managers in their state to be certified in food safety. In many instances, certification is based on the ability to pass a nationally recognized food protection manager certification examination. Many people who are seeking certification desire to have some training in food safety before sitting for the certification exam. However, these people do not always live in areas where such training is readily available. This is why the authors of Essentials of Food Safety and Sanitation developed the Study Guide to accompany the book. The Study Guide is published by Prentice Hall, and its ISBN is 0-13-532144-1.

Summary: WRONG TITLE-It is, Essentials of Food Safety and Sanitation
Review: This book is the first safety and sanitation text to include the 1997 FDA Food Code. Competencies for Food Manager Certification identified by the Conference on Food Protection are cited. The book is designed to prepare potential food managers for all certification exams, either national or local in origin. Issues of food safety and sanitation catapaulted into major headlines when the media began to publicize problems related to foodborne illness. Mistakes cost lives and dollars. The authors recognized the need for new approaches to food safety and thus prepared this text. Anyone involved in food service must know how to protect customers or clients from becoming ill because of contaminated food. Essentials of Food Safety and Sanitation addresses current issues and solutions including a strong chapter on application of HACCP. Illustrations and diagrams help demonstrate the steps required to serve safe food. Case studies and questions at the end of each chapter help learners to apply what they have read. A workbook with additional exercises will be available in May 1998. Because the information is generic, any area of food service will find this book worthwhile. ISBN 0-13-532136-0
