A Flash of Food Safety is an educational video series designed to help busy school nutrition professionals understand and practically apply safe food practices. The videos, available in English and Spanish, address five food safety topics: Handwashing: Why to Wash Your Hands, Handwashing: How to Wash Your Hands, Calibrating a Thermometer: Ice Water Method, Calibrating a Thermometer: Boiling Water Method, and Active Cooling with a Chill Stick.

Each “flash” video is 2-4 minutes long – perfect for onsite training! Employees can earn 15 minutes (1/4 hour) of continuing education for Professional Standards when they watch all five videos in the series.
