The Mill & Brewhouse is now ServSafe Certified. The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation developed ServSafe® to educate food service managers about such topics as microbial contamination, food allergens, and food-borne illness; personal hygiene; preventing cross-contamination; monitoring time and temperature; flow of food through the operation; pest management; cleaning and sanitizing; food safety regulation and standards and employee training.
In addition to the course work, participants must pass an exam before receiving their certification.
Food service managers are currently required to complete food safety training by the Michigan Department of Agriculture, and by July 1, 2009, every establishment will be required to have at least one manager who has received certified food protection education accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
