I'm not on the food program, but was recently told I need training in usda/choking hazards. I am finding resources and information, but not an actual training. Does anyone have an idea where I can obtain this training? Thanks for any help!
USDA and Choking Hazards

Who said that?
I've been on a USDA sponsored food program since I first opened 20+ years ago and I've never had specific training on choking.
We cover choking in infant- child CPR/first aid but not for the food program.- Flag

Huh. I wonder if it's at all related to the new FP handbook we were given. I think I posted about it here a few months ago.
Basically, any uncooked fruit or vegetable is supposed to be in 1/2" or smaller dice, or mashed. For children under 4.- Flag

I swear I did a calendar training on that with my food program.
You know.....how they have you complete 6hrs of their trainings that they send to you via mail?- Flag

Are you kidding me? 4? For pity sake. 1/2". I'm beyond belief.- Flag

It's in my regulations (ma)that we need some kind of training, yet all the "suggested" websites are just links to information...no formal trainings. I guess they basically want to ensure that those not on the food program know how to balance a meal. I agree, BC, we do cover the choking in CPR- but the link just says to cut grapes, etc in half, - common sense stuff. I guess I am going to just print out the info and say I read it?- Flag
