Project Manager Nergis Yilmaz, supported by local consultant Sevim Ozkirac, is leading a project focused on improving the area of food hygiene and safety. Working with 18 local food engineers, the project has the goal to improve standards and operations, with a focus on eateries and processing plants.
International expert Dr. Mahmood Khan of Virginia Tech is training the engineers. The initial part of the effort is aimed at getting the engineers certified with the US ServSafe credential from the US National Restaurant Association.
Additionally, local standards are being developed in accordance with the TCC environment for application in these businesses. A group of 9 of the food engineers will be selected to become trainers of the final standards. In a projected 2nd phase, the other engineers look to develop an audit capability.
