CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Mary Kohring - "I liked the tables that highlighted the foods and storage guidelines."

Cynthia Trapano - "A lot of great reference charts in the book and good, practical food service information."

Deborah N. Mannion - "Altered my understanding of food storage of select vegetables. Learned more about holding temps for cooked foods. Updated my knowledge regarding food-borne illnesses in the 10 years since I took HACCP. I felt the information was detailed but also concise and interesting."

Shannon G. Kennedy - "I love the layout of the book as well as the easy to reference Guides. I don't utilize this information frequently so having an easy to find and reference layout for food-borne illness was nice. I also liked the Food Storage and Longevity Charts."
