Municipalities in Argentina are implementing training programs to help entrepreneurs obtain mandatory food handling certificates. These certifications, required by the Argentine Food Code, ensure workers are trained in hygiene, good practices, and risk prevention to protect public health.

In the Capital, 32 entrepreneurs recently received certificates through an initiative by the Subsecretariat of Social Development. Following this, the Municipality of Paraná held a training course in the 19 de Septiembre neighborhood, which drew over 45 participants. This local program involved collaboration with the National University of Entre Ríos and the Autonomous University of Entre Ríos as part of a broader strategy to support entrepreneurs through training and commercial promotion.
