Students that are a food handler, food vendor, or food business owner inside the campus are joining us for our seminar entitled “Food Safety Awareness and Workshop Training for Student Food Vendors in Cavite State University Main Campus”, a learning event dedicated to promote safe food handling, proper hygiene practices, science behind spoilage, and a healthier community. 🍽️
This seminar brings together experts to discuss and share essential principles that ensure every meal or desserts—from preparation to serving—is safe and clean to sell to fellow students. This session will equip them with the knowledge and confidence to make smarter, safer choices in preparing or selling your food products.
Let’s work together to build a culture where food safety is a habit, not just a requirement.

📅 Date: December 10, 2025
📍 Venue: Food Processing Laboratory
⏰ Time: 1:00-5:00 P.M.

Sharing a meaningful learning experience is an honor. Your commitment to safety makes a difference—one plate at a time! ✨
