Promoting Consumer Safety
Our Consumer Food Safety programs translate research into practical education that helps individuals and families safely buy, store, prepare, preserve, and serve food. Through evidence-based resources and community outreach, we promote healthy lifestyles, reduce foodborne illness, minimize food waste, and support self-reliance through local food systems and home food preservation.
