Bowen speaks with WABI about upcoming food safety class
Laurie Bowen, a community education assistant with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, visited the studio of WABI (Channel 5) to speak about an upcoming food safety course. UMaine Extension will offer “Cooking for Crowds — Food Safety Training for Volunteer Cooks” at 5 p.m. May 9 at the UMaine Extension in Bangor. Bowen will host the workshop, which offers up-to-date information on how to handle, transport, store and prepare foods safely for large group functions, WABI reported. Participants will receive a manual designed for volunteer cooks, a certificate of attendance, posters and a meat thermometer. The cost is $15 per person for the class, which meets the Good Shepherd Food Bank safety training requirements. Registration is online.
