"I need food safety information from my doctor!"
That's what pregnant women have said during food safety research sessions - especially once they begin to recognize the seriousness of the issue.

  • At-A-Glance - A printable handout of important food safety reminders for pregnant women.
  • Fast Facts - Up-to-date food safety facts and statistics specific to pregnant women.
  • Foodborne Pathogens - A chart of background information on the most common foodborne pathogens.
  • Waiting Room Poster - A printable poster to hang in your waiting room to increase food safety awareness among your patients.
