Scandinavian Prison Projects Inmates Learn Food Safety

SCI Chester food service staff conducted the first "ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification" with inmates in the Scandinavian Prison Project. The National Restaurant Association's ServSafe Food Safety training program is widely recognized and respected in the food service industry. Corrections Food Safety Instructors (CFSI) M. Miller and K. Miller are instructors/proctors for ServSafe. CFSI V. Andriyevskiy assisted in the class giving examples from previous food service experiences and the importance of keeping food safe. This first class was a great experience and the students did a fantastic job! The next class is scheduled for October.

Currently the Scandinavian Prison Project only has six inmates due to the project being delayed by COVID-19. They will do their own cooking on the unit, so this training is to educate them on food safety.
