September is the start of Food Safety Education month. According to the International Food Information Council Foundation’s 2009 Food & Health Survey, 52 percent of consumers perceive foodborne illness as the most important food safety issue. Food Safety month encourages consumers to incorporate safe food handling practices into their daily routine. Per Iowa State University, the 5 areas for consumers to focus on are:
1.Purchase Food From Safe Sources
2.Clean and Sanitize
3.Cross Out Cross Contamination
4.Avoid time and temperature abuse – Use a Thermometer
5.Practice personal hygiene – Wash those hands!
