Food Safety Websites

FoodSafety.gov is a wealth of accessible information for kids and teens. One of the features on this site is a coloring book that explains basic food safety rules to children. The site also links to several other sites that teach important information to children about how to make sure they are preparing food safely. You can also find tips on how to pack a safe school lunch for your children.

The site includes news and alerts about food safety. It also contains a section entirely devoted to consumers. You can also learn about specific foodborne pathogens on this site. I think that the best section is the frequently asked question section. It addresses questions based on food type, foodborne illnesses, and how to stop the spread of the illness. You can also email the site with a specific question regarding food safety.

The site also addresses specific incidences where you should be concerned with food safety and how to deal with them. This includes power outages, hurricanes and floods. It is important to consider things such as food safety at restaurants after such events. It is common for food to spoil, and for people not realize that it has.

The site also has sections about food safety programs, as well as information for industries. This would be an excellent source for a report on how food is handled and distributed. It is interesting to see the many steps the government is making in order to help keep food safe.
