This Kansas, Wisconsin and Michigan Cooperative Extension Project
targets educators in extension, public health, classroom, food
service and elsewhere who are interested in using food safety
educational curricula and resources. Possible audience includes food
safety, nutrition and agriculture extension specialists and agents,
elementary and secondary science and family and consumer science
teachers, food handlers, dietitians, health officials, FDA regional
contacts, State Department of Agriculture, Health and Education
Coordinators and others.
The program will focus on the content of three recently compiled
USDA databases: The Extension Food Safety Education Database, The
National Food Safety Database and The Foodborne Illness Educational
Materials Database. These databases are comprehensive and continually
updated sources of abstracts or full text of educational curriculum
and resources developed by public and private groups.
The program will show types of resources catalogued in the databases
and how to use these in educational settings. It will also highlight
a number of successful food safety education programs referenced in the
databases. Many of the educational curricula and resources are
available for loan through the National Agricultural Library,
Beltsville, Maryland. Database accessing instruction will be minimal
but will be discussed in participant handouts.
We would appreciate if you would please forward this message to all
those in your state and in any other networks you have who would be
interested.
