Food employee and supervisory training plan addressing food safety issues of concern
Employees are trained in proper food safety issues associated with reduced oxygen packaging of raw and cooked foods. This includes preventing cross-contamination throughout processing and packaging by doing cooked foods before raw food, properly cooling cooked foods, and freezing all reduced oxygen packages after packaging. Employees will be observed to make sure they follow practices.
