Food Safety
Warm temperatures heighten the dangers for consumers for foodborne
illnesses. Not wanting to see the List's highly regarded members keel over
because of something they ate, Site of the Day offers this well-designed
and extensive website to keep them upright.
"Iowa State University Extension believes that resources are needed for
consumers, educators and students to access research-based, unbiased
information on food safety and quality. The goal of the Food Safety Project
is to develop educational materials that give the public the tools they
need to minimize their risk of foodborne illness. . . Many people get sick
each year from the food they eat. They may have diarrhea, vomiting, an
upset stomach, fever, or cramps. They often think they have the flu, but
the real problem is foodborne illness caused by bacteria in the food they
ate a few hours or several days ago. " - from the website
Get the facts on foods at high risk for contamination and brush up on food
handling procedures from the good folks at Iowa State University.
