Community outreach ensures that food handlers and establishment operators understand the food safety requirements, know how to obtain food handler cards, and have access to educational resources to support compliance.
Which of the following groups is SNHD outreach especially important for in Southern Nevada's food service industry?
Answer: Non-English speaking workers who may face barriers to accessing food safety training and information
