This course will acquaint students with the Food and Drug Administration’s Food Code as well
as the challenges and opportunities facing hospitality managers in the area of sanitation risk
management It presents a system approach to sanitation management, utilizing the Hazard

sanitation management. Credit hours: 3
Course Objectives: At the end of this course the student will be able to understand the
difference between clean and sanitary. They will be able to think about the reasons behind

government who oversee compliance will be emphasized.

Academic Honesty:
Academic integrity is expected at all times. Academic dishonesty (cheating) will be punished to
the fullest extent allowed by the institution. The instructor will follow the academic dishonest
policy as outlined in the student handbook and the catalog. It is your responsibility to
familiarize yourself with this policy. However, in short, if a student is caught being
academically dishonest, the student(s) involved will receive consequences that may include a
zero grade for the assignment and a failing grade for the course.
Mobile communication devices – I understand there are many good reasons to have laptops,
mobile phones and other wireless communication devices. Many of us have work and family
responsibilities that sometimes cannot wait until the end of class. Recognizing that it may be
necessary on occasion to communicate with others during class, please do not text, email, surf,
talk, or anything else while class is in session.. Feel free to leave the classroom for a “moment”
to take care of any necessary communications.
