I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you for presenting the chair exercise and cooking demos at our Staying Strong with Healthy Bones event. The demonstrations were perfect for conveying the message of the role of calcium intake and exercise in bone health. Both demonstrations synthesized our message of bone health education in a very fun, engaging manner - just like you! Thank you also for working with me to provide the food and presentations at a price that met our budgeted grant-funding amount. The veggie wraps were a huge hit with the audience. You presence made our event a fun, educational and memorable experience for our participants. The participant evaluations indicated that it was a very successful event.

Certified Food Handler Training

[top]

NutriFit has been offering exceptional training programs in many areas of nutrition, culinary arts and food safety since 1987, and is committed to providing the highest quality of training to both businesses and community organizations. NutriFit is an approved provider (provider number 050) of Certified Food Handler Training for the County of Los Angeles, Department of Health Services.

California State Law requires that all food service operations have a certified food handler on site. This means that at least one person, such as an owner, operator or any person at least 18 years of age, who supervises all or part of the food service operations within the facility, must be certified. If no one in your food service operation is certified, your permit to operate may be suspended and you will have to close your operation until you become a CFH or hire one.

This training will provide you with a clear understanding of good food handling practices, enable you to identify areas within your operation that have the greatest potential for the spread of food borne illness and enhance your understanding of the public health significance of the regulations associated with food.

We provide training using nationally recognized materials with the session being conducted in a one day, 8-hour format at your facility. The cost is $150.00, which includes submitting your test results and application form to Los Angeles County. The fee for recertification (no book required) is $75.00.
