Why Teach Food Safety?
Food safety has become an important national focus. Each year, approximately one third of the U. S. population has mild to severe illnesses caused by pathogens in food — and more than 5,000 people die from them. Learning food safety science will enable your students to better understand decisions and practices that may affect their personal health. It will encourage them to step up to the plate and take an active role in preventing foodborne illness.
