The breadth and depth of this subject can be overwhelming. There are so many ideas and psychological theories; it would take years to fully understand them all. We don't want to overwhelm you with all of these different ideas and concepts. Instead, what we have done is sift through them and choose the ones that actually relate to the culinary profession, and prove worthy based on overall research. Because this course is only 8 hours, it is a short and intense class. We hope that you will discover some new information and helpful tools to use in your classroom as well as find ways to improve what you may already be doing.

After the Food Safety Certificate is on the wall, whose going to teach sanitation to your staff? Probably no one.
As important as it is to get this vital information to the people who need it most, the moment they first start handling your valuable customers' food, the fact is often no one has the time to teach. The TAP Series Food Handler Training program changes all that. Those parts of the certification training that apply to your employees are taught with a simple click of a button. The only thing needed is to make sure that they have the course launched and know how to use a mouse, then walk away. About an hour later, the food handler is trained and documented.
This course is not to prepare workers to take a certification exam.

Is your recipe development team leveraging halal, a dietary set of guidelines for Muslims, as a dietary and formulation opportunity? Today, the global and local opportunity for halal prepared foods, foodservice, and menu development is currently assessed at $634 billion (US) per year, and forms 16 percent of the entire global food industry. In the U.S. alone, halal consumers spend an upward of $20 billion every year, and hold a collective purchasing power of $170 billion. This informative discussion, presented by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFNCA), will discuss how to develop halal products, understanding the full potential of including halal in menus, and how to leverage halal to differentiate your menu/products from your competitors.

We stand on the threshold of continents of the mind. Knowing how people respond to the stimuli around them in everyday life lets us employ science to understand what to give to people, how to please them, and how to delight them. In this presentation Dr. Moskowitz will share his experiments on mind genomics and food. He will provide tools and ideas about how to understand just what specifically turns on your customers, and how to create those delights.
His presentation will feature a demonstration of mind genomics, done specifically for this conference on the topic of fine dining. Through easy to run studies, by probing evaluation (pricing), and by understanding emotion reactions (how do you feel when you read the vignette about dining), Dr. Moskowitz will share with the audience the magic of science, and the sheer joy of finding out just what makes the customer’s mind tick.

Speakers: Jared Benton, Ph.D. Candidate in Classical Art and Archaeology, University of Virginia, Craig "Skip" Julius, AdvancePierre Foods
Much of what we consider "modern" was actually refined and practiced by the Romans of 2,000 years ago. The archeological site of Pompeii offers us a unique snapshot into the daily life of the Roman citizen. Without modern power, how did Romans transport, store, and mill grain into flour, process dough, and bake bread to feed the 20,000 residents of Pompeii every day? What kind of bread was it? Why did the social life of Pompeii revolve around its many centrally located food courts which served a variety of hot and cold food from open kitchens? Interestingly, these kitchens are so well preserved they could be made functional in a few hours. This insightful session will explore how the food courts of Pompeii laid the groundwork for today’s modern food courts, open kitchens, and commercial bread baking.

TAP online Food Safety Manager Re-certification courses are the only specifically developed online re-certification courses offered that are approved for use in all states where non-examination food safety manager re-certification is allowed: Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Rhode Island. These courses require only about half the time to study as the full online course. Using these at home self-study courses eliminates any travel or time away from the job. Upon successful completion of the course, the TAP Certificate of Achievement is offered for printout (Note: The TAP Certificate is not for first time certification in any state. Further, only those with valid food safety manager certificates are eligible for non-examination recertification). When the course has been successfully completed, the state recertification filing forms are offered from the home page, under Regulatory Requirements. Send to the state the TAP Certificate, state form and a check for the re-certification fee. The state will mail you a renewed certificate.
The general TAP Re-certification course is for health department jurisdictions that require the passage of a Conference for Food Protection accredited Food Safety Manager Certification examination, but have no training requirements. For those with minimal current safe foodservice operations knowledge or those who are needing their first certificate, it is recommended (and maybe required) that the full TAP Series Food Safety Manager Certification course be used. The full course is the only TAP Series Food Safety Manager Certification course that offers our examination pass guarantee. These courses offer full motion videos, audio narration and text in both English and Spanish, interactive learning games and private results reporting. When appropriate, the TAP Food Safety Manager Re-certification courses save you money and time.

CRT 9030 HACCP for Managers and Chefs - 10% discount for ACF members. Contact us for details.1 Credit issued through Southwestern Oregon Community College.
The drive for safer food comes, not only from the local regulations, but also from customer demand and, increasingly, litigation. As consumer awareness grows, so does empowerment to voice complaints. Every manager knows the feeling initiated when a phone call begins: “I ate at your restaurant last night, and I’ve been throwing up ever since …” We simply cannot afford to be careless. We must be well grounded in food safety systems and we must be sure that our staff shares the basic knowledge necessary to support, not sabotage, the effort.
A HACCP program offers a simple, easily measurable approach to reaching this goal. It enables key personnel to efficiently check points that offer the most critical threats to our goal of food safety. It provides the basis for a ‘reasonable care defense’ should we ever have to defend our systems in a foodborne illness outbreak. HACCP demands documentation; this documentation provides our greatest support. HACCP also provides a perfect platform for employee education. The isolation of critical points causes us to focus our learning on essential areas, making our acquired skills most protective to our food service operation. Finally, HACCP increases employee awareness of how to improve food safety systems and, ultimately, the customers’ impression of our food. With a small amount of ‘up front’ investment of time and energy, HACCP will provide a winning situation from all vantage points.

This course will take you on a journey of reflection and hopefully, inspiration. Since you are an educator, the truly difficult work is already being done. We are teachers ourselves and know how many long hours go into preparing just one class. This course has been designed to help you reflect upon your own teaching methods and possibly offer some new ideas for you to add to your teaching palate. We hope to make this course informative as well as engaging. Your time is valuable and we want to offer practical tools for you to use in the classroom. I remember so many classes in graduate school that looked great on paper but offered no tools for me to use back in the classroom. This course is different. You will walk away with practical tools to help focus your lessons and improve student learning. All you need is an open mind, a writing journal, and a classroom in which to test out some new ideas.
