What to do
Teach your students about food handling rules and expectations in the kitchen. Share information about how food poisoning, contact with allergens and problematic foods and other issues can affect people who eat food.
Focus on key learning areas such as:
Food handler hygiene and wellness
Reporting and communication
Cross contamination
Allergies and intolerances
Cleaning
Packaging
Damaged and out of date foods
Temperature danger zone
Hand washing
High risk foods
 
Divide students into groups so they can share the food handling scenario task cards. Give each group a food safe action plan and a checklist so they can identify the food handling problems and discuss the best strategy to use in their action plan.
Bring the groups back together so they can share their learning and you can resolve and clarify issues, concerns and reinforce key learning messages about food handling. Discuss how the food safety scenarios and solutions might apply in a home or commercial kitchen, such as a restaurant or cafe. Make clear links between classroom learning and workplace situations.
Collect documents from students as evidence of food handling learning.
 
Most importantly - remember to have fun! Learning about food safety and safe food handling is an important topic for students in hospitality, work education and cooking classes, so it is important to enjoy it and help your students retain the key information. Remind them about the key food safety messages next time they are enjoying a practical cooking class together.
Enjoy your cooking classes!
