The federal government, cooperative extensions and public health agencies were identified as the most active organizations in educating consumers about food safety at home.
A new report commissioned by the Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) revealed federal government cooperative extensions and public health agencies are the most active organizations in educating consumers about safe food handling at home.
The first-ever analysis of current activity and initiatives in food safety education across different sectors was released last week at the Consumer Food Safety Education Conference 2014 in Arlington, VA and is available at teamfoodsafety.org. Founded in 1997, PFSE brings together public and private sectors to support health and food safety educators by making their work more visible, collaborative and effective. PFSE commissioned North Carolina State University to conduct the survey in 2014 to identify the most involved organizations, the audiences they serve and the channels most frequently used to communicate safe food handling messages.
