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!

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.

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.

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?

And would you like some mashed cantaloupe? How about some chili with mashed kidney beans?

I wonder if that is an added state of sponsor rule because it is not in our handbookHuh. 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.
