Food Safety Class
Each club event where food is served must have a member in attendance who has completed Campus Dining's food safety class.
Students who took the class within the last three academic years may continue to serve in this capacity and are not required to take it again.
The class will provide guidelines for purchasing, preparing and serving food safely for club events, based on USDA recommendations for volunteers, and the California Food Code. Oxy's Catering Policy will also be explained. This is NOT a food safety certification class (such as ServSafe®).
RSVP: To register for the class, please send an e-mail to dining@oxy.edu, with the subject line: Food Safety Class. You will receive an e-mail confirmation back by Monday 2/18 if you are enrolled. RSVP is required.
