Pantry Food Safety Workshop
Our Pantry Food Safety Workshop was developed by a team of nutrition and food safety professionals and is taught by The Greater Boston Food Bank's nutrition staff. The curriculum was developed for pantries that distribute both perishable and nonperishable food to high-risk populations. The workshop should be taken by staff and volunteers who distribute groceries to pantry clients. Emergency food pantries must take this class once every two years in order to receive USDA and MEFAP products from The Food Bank. Attendees who successfully complete this course will receive a certificate of participation. Topics include: transporting food safely, maintaining sanitary facilities and vehicles, assessing food safety, roles of regulatory agencies, and preparing for inspections. The Greater Boston Food Bank offers this workshop at no cost to its Member Agencies.

Residential Food Safety
The Greater Boston Food Bank's nutrition staff developed this curriculum for transitional homes where staff, volunteers, and residents prepare meals in a small functioning kitchen and do not require a Board of Health license. We will travel to your location to train your staff, volunteers, and residents in safe food handling. This workshop provides interactive training on several topics including proper food preparation hygiene, cross-contamination, and time and temperature abuse. Emergency residential agencies must take this class once every two years in order to receive USDA and MEFAP products from The Food Bank. Attendees who successfully complete this course will receive a certificate of participation. Topics include: proper cooking temperatures, proper thawing and cooling methods, and assessing food safety. The Greater Boston Food Bank offers this workshop at no cost to its Member Agencies. This course will be held at your location.
