Certified food protection manager training will be offered Aug. 1 by videoconference in six Alaska communities.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will host the food safety management workshop, which will meet from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in Fairbanks, Delta Junction, Palmer, Valdez, Juneau and Sitka. State regulations require that all food establishments have at least one certified food protection manager to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
