The American Food Safety Institute
The American Food Safety Institute is an educational institution, which has been providing food-borne disease prevention training and certification since 1989. Their team of 20 health professionals is dedicated to preventing the estimated 9,000 needless deaths (FDA Food Code preface, 1999) caused by food-borne diseases each year. Their staff includes Physicians, Food Scientists, Registered/Licensed Dietitians (RD/LD), Health Officers (RS, REHS, CFSP, and CHO), Nurses, adult education professionals (MA, MEd), Executive Chefs, and customer service professionals.
AFSI also endeavors to prepare the food service owner and/or managers to fulfill their obligation to train their food service employees. A primary learning objective of every AFSI class is to help food service owners/managers become good “story tellers” and advise their employees how important key food safety practices really are. People must understand “why” as well as “what.”
