Hygiene and sanitation are the initial foundation for the Catering, Restaurant, and Café industry to produce food products that are safe for consumption. The application of hygiene and sanitation is carried out for the entire food processing process, both on the raw materials used, during the processing, to the presentation process, including employees and the food processing environment.
Located in the research center building of the Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), the ITS Halal Community Engagement Center, in collaboration with the Surabaya City Health Office, has held training to increase the knowledge capacity of food sanitation hygiene for food handlers in the city of Surabaya for two days (2-3 August 2022).
