The New 7th Edition of ServSafe Manager is out

Every four years the entire FDA Food Code is reviewed and revised. Since the previous revision was in 2013, the Food Code was recently updated. The National Restaurant Association has just issued its latest version of ServSafe. We received our first shipment on June 20 and have read it. At the present time it appears that the 6th Edition or ServSafe Manager will still be valid and probably the 5th edition. If you have any old 4th editions laying around, you probably should discard them. We'll have updated our ServSafe Programs and materials to reflect the Food Code.

We reviewed the new 7th Edition of the ServSafe Manager and must say that we are extremely disappointed in its quality. In addition to being very poorly edited (it has contradictory information in different chapters) and it has dumbed the content down to an extreme level, which we don't believe provides sufficient information to prepare one to take the certification examination. As a result, we have decided not to use the 7th Edition, although we have a few in stock if people want to purchase one, and will be providing all participants with the booklet we have written for those being recertified - both those being certified initially and those being recertified. And since we will not be purchasing the ServSafe book, we will be reducing the program cost!
