| $8,090 | |
| Summary | This workgroup focuses on consumer information and education in food safety areas including home food preparation. Additionally safe food handling education is provided for commercial food handlers and DANR staff and volunteers involved with University of California programs. Conferences provide a venue for the exchange of science-based information on food safety issues in California as well as development of strategies to maintain or enhance food safety. Publications related to food safety and safe handling are available through DANR. Courses in food preservation for the public are provided by Master Food Preservers; courses for those starting a specialty food business are available through University Extension. Applied research projects relate to consumer safe food handling, and communication strategies to enhance public understanding of food safety aspects of agricultural production and food processing technologies. |
