ServSafe has been the industry standard since 1919 in training millions of people how to receive, store, prepare and serve food safely.

The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service offers training and certifications for the ServSafe Manager and ServSafe Instructor & Proctor programs. The Arkansas Department of Health is now requiring each food service facility to have at least one supervisory employee who has Certified Food Manager training.

A ServSafe Certified Food Manager Course will be offered at 9 a.m. Monday, Aug. 11, at 9:00 AM at the Cattlemen’s Building at the Carroll County Fairgrounds. The course will cost $140 for new managers, which includes book, class and exam, and $60 for re-certifications, which includes class and exam. Participants who pass the exam will receive a ServSafe Food Manager Certification good for five years. All participants must pre-register and pay by Tuesday, Aug. 5. Class size is limited. Once the Servsafe books are distributed, they are non-refundable.

If you have any questions or would like to register, please contact the Carroll County Extension Office at 870-423-2958 or stop by the office at 909-B Freeman Switch Road, Berryville, Arkansas 72616. You can also email Torrie Smith at tsmith@uada.edu.
