WASHINGTON, May 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Research findings for a national study conducted by the Partnership for Food Safety Education reveal that despite the fact that a majority of adults feel confident they understand and follow food handling procedures, a sizable number do not consistently follow certain safe food handling practices. The study also revealed that a majority of adults (83 percent) are interested in learning more about safe food handling procedures. Providing this education could reduce the incidence of foodborne illness, which continues to represent a significant public health threat.
Everyone in the food system can do their part to help ensure the safety of food. Informed consumers can help extend the precautions taken by industry and government by becoming educated on how to buy, prepare and store food safely.
This week we'll begin a four-part presentation courtesy of the fine folks at The Partnership for Food Safety Education. The first principle of Fight BAC!® is CLEAN!
TTFN, Fred.
