This month, take time to learn more about food safety and spread awareness of the dangers of foodborne illnesses.
Every year, an estimated 1 in 6 Americans acquire a foodborne illness. That is about 48 million people! Of those people, around 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 lose their lives—all because of contaminated food.
That’s why food safety education is important this month, and every month after!
September serves as a reminder to review and educate yourself on food safety. To help, all month long, we will be taking to our social media to share information on preventing foodborne illnesses. Take a look and share any posts you think may be helpful to others from our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
Another helpful resource is our blog. Here are some links to learn more about food safety:
To learn even more about food safety, take a look at our Food Protection Manager, Food Handler, and Allergen Awareness training.
