Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) issues were one of the driving forces behind the desire of the American National CattleWomen, Inc. (ANCW) to educate their beef demonstrators about food safety issues and food safety behaviors. The National Restaurant Association's SERVSAFE® program was used to educate the beef demonstrators about food safety. The SERVSAFE® program was designed for use in commercial foodservice, and to our knowledge, has not been used with this type of audience. Ninety-three beef demonstrators and potential beef demonstrators took part in the SERVSAFE® training. Food safety knowledge, confidence levels and attitudes regarding beef demonstration ability, safe food handling and beef safety, and food safety behaviors, both home and demonstration, were assessed. This was accomplished using results of the SERVSAFE® certification exam, along with pretraining, posttraining and follow-up questionnaires. Significant improvements (p = 001) were seen in all areas.
