Project-Based Learning: Food Safety

From the federal government's U.S. Department of Agriculture. "The food landscape in this country is ever changing. And USDA is involved in managing those changes as related to many areas of food processing and food distribution. From the inspection of domestic product, imports, and exports; conducting risk assessments; and educating the public about the importance of food safety, USDA is there."

From the federal government's Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "CDC tracks foodborne illnesses and collaborates with state and local health departments and other federal agencies to investigate foodborne outbreaks. CDC’s work provides information to improve food safety."

"FoodSafety.gov is the gateway to food safety information provided by government agencies."
