Food Safety Education month: does it matter?
September is food safety education month, just in time for back-to-school. As a food safety professional, has your child's teacher ever asked you to speak? Do you think food safety gets heightened attention in Sept, and if not, how can we be sure to spread the word about safe food handling? I've found it hard to have fun show and tell for food safety (unlike food chemistry and sensory for which there are great experiments). Does anyone have ideas for quick and easy food safety demos?
