Community-Based, Food Safety Survey

The survey yielded valuable insights about people's food safety concerns, along with insights into their preferences for education and information. As a result of these findings, the committee chose to conduct programming through regional media sources to address major consumer concerns and to produce a series of radio public service announcements widely aired throughout the county. Other committee food safety projects included providing a resource directory and training for food service workers. Extension's role in food safety education can be enhanced by collaborating with community-based agencies and organizations to survey and respond to consumers' concerns.
