Foodborne outbreaks can occur quickly. These outbreaks happen when workers at restaurants, daycare centers, and other food-serving establishments are too casual about washing their hands. Conscientious employees often touch their eyes, noses, or mouths. They may do so without even realizing it. This can happen when they bite their nails or taste food. These actions can lead to illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norovirus has no immunity; people can get sick many times over. Due to the extreme nature of the symptoms, it is very dangerous for young children and older adults, even causing death. Health experts have discovered that Norovirus is the most common of all food-borne diseases in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safefoodtraining.com\/courses\/food_manager_certification_mn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Certified food protection manager training<\/a>\u00a0covers preventative measures to protect many thousands of people from this virus, keeping employees and customers healthier and safer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper hand washing and overall cleanliness are the best ways to prevent a Norovirus food-borne outbreak. Many food service employees are young and inexperienced. This can result in a lack of urgency concerning health risks. Properly training and coaching employees on the importance of following correct hand washing and cleaning techniques is critical to prevent the spread of Norovirus and other foodborne illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operating a safe and clean establishment that protects employees and customers from preventable foodborne illnesses is something to take pride in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How often do you deliberately remind staff of proper handwashing protocol during meetings?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norovirus is responsible for about 60% of the food-borne outbreaks in the US and Minnesota yearly.
