I have been working with Safe Food University for years. There are many courses available to

help my employees receive the necessary training for our food production facility. The courses offer a lot of valuable content and there is the option to print a certificate if desired after completion of each course. This program has been a valuable resource for the required training and for regulatory audit compliance. The customer service is great and any issues encountered are resolved promptly. I would highly recommend Safe Food Resources to anyone looking to build a food safety training program. - Harold S., Culligan Water
