Providenciales, TCI, June 6, 2016 – Food Safety & Handling training for the Turks and Caicos Collection properties of Blue Haven Resort, Alexandra Resort & The Beach House launched today.
With morning and afternoon sessions all week, 150 staff of the Food & Beverage Departments are being trained by 47 year chef, Jefferey Rotz of Chefs Helping Chefs. “You’re absolutely right, it is very practical, most of it is common sense on what we need to do to keep our food safe, and to keep our guest and our tourist that come to our beautiful island so they go back nice and healthy. Well we’re gonna go through ways of keeping the flow of food right, danger zone, keeping hot food hot, cold food cold, proper cooking temperatures, what temperature you need to cook each type of food, or actually each type of meat, vegetables, beef, port, fish, chicken, poultries, wild game, to make sure its safe from any food borne disease.”
This group will be the first certified in compliance with new 2016 Food and Drug Ordinance says Wayne Garland, the new Training & Development Manager of Waterloo Investments Holdings Ltd, owners of the resorts. “Food and beverage is a big part of what we do, so we want to make sure that all our staff have the important tools, have the skills that are necessary to deliver the service that we go out there and market.”
Executive and Sous Chefs from the properties will sit an exam for Serve Safe Certification by end of the month.
