Last year 750,000 violations were issued to Florida food service operations and nationwide approximately 3,000 people died from a foodborne pathogen. Don’t let this happen to you or your operation. Florida ServSafe® Classes offered by Food and Alcohol Safety Classes (FNASafety.com) can help you avoid these violations, prevent tragedies and assist you with staying compliant with the rules of the Sunshine state.
The National Restaurants Association Educational Foundation’s ServSafe® Food Protection Managers Certification provided by Food and Alcohol Safety Classes will help food service managers in Florida who work in establishments licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (Division of Hotels and Restaurants) who are required to be certified.

Florida also requires that a person in charge of a food establishment demonstrate knowledge of food safety as outlined in the FDA Food Code. Passing an approved Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) Training like the ServSafe ® Course and Exam offered by Food and Alcohol Safety Classes (FNASAFETY.COM) is one way to demonstrate knowledge.
