Background
September marks the ninth annual National Food Safety Education
Month
SM, one of the activities supported by the
National Food Safety Program. The goals of the Month are:
- to reinforce food safety education and training among restaurant
and foodservice workers.
- to educate the public to handle and prepare food properly at home,
where food safety is equally important--whether cooking from
scratch or serving take-out meals and restaurant leftovers.
Restaurants and foodservice operations, hospitality associations,
colleges and universities, federal, state, and local government
agencies, and consumer organizations across the country participate
in National Food Safety Education Month in a variety of ways
each year.
