Opus, a training platform built for the frontline, has partnered with Always Food Safe, a growing accredited food safety training provider. By combining the expertise of both companies, they aim to improve food safety with highly accessible, actionable training for the hospitality industry.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As part of National Food Safety Education Month, the FDA estimates that 1 in 6 Americans are subjected to a foodborne illness annually, resulting in 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. While training is critical now more than ever, the hospitality industry is challenged with high turnover and ever-changing regulations, making it difficult for businesses to ensure their workers are continually compliant and have the tools to keep customers safe.
Always Food Safe offers its comprehensive curriculum and certification, which is ANSI-accredited and recognized in all jurisdictions that require Food Handlers and Food Protection Manager Certification. Together, Opus and Always Food Safe offer a scalable compliance solution.
To support National Food Safety Education Month, Opus and Always Food Safe is offering 20% off its Food Handler and Food Manager Certification. Food Handler Certification is $8 per employee and Food Managers Certification is $80 per employee if purchased by September 30, 2023. Plus, volume discounting is available.
