Partnership for Food Safety Education

Halloween Drawing Contest

You didn’t invite them, but BAC and his germy friends, the 10 Least Wanted Pathogens, might show up at your Halloween bash whether you like it or not. Your best defense against a food fright? Learn how to recognize these invisible fiends and fight them off!

This Halloween, the Partnership for Food Safety Education is hosting a Drawing Contest to help kids recognize and fight off scary foodborne pathogens. Kids will draw their spooky interpretations of one of the 10 Least Wanted Pathogens and answer a few questions about how to fight these germs using the food safety concepts they’ve learned from the Perfect Picnic game.

Deadline is October 31st, 2013. Click here for full details on how to enter.

Home Food Safety Mythbusters is back!

For 5 years, we've been busting common food safety myths to help you protect your family from foodborne illness. From leftovers to lemon juice, you might think there's nothing left to cover!

For National Food Safety Education Month 2013, we're going where Home Food Safety Mythbusters has not gone before -- to the kids!

Kids are more likely to get food poisoning than most adults are. Knowing fact from fiction when it comes to food safety risks could mean the difference between safe kids and sick kids.

Know what is fact and what is fiction. Check out this year’s myths and facts, and free downloads, here.

New from the Partnership for Food Safety Education

The Partnership for Food Safety Education is the leader in food safety education content for kids of all ages. Just in time for summer, we are happy to announce the launch of the BAC! Fighter National Youth Campaign and release of two great new products:

Perfect Picnic! A new iPhone game for kids!

Fight BAC!® at Picnic Park guide for parents and teachers.

We invite BAC Fighters across the United States to join with us in engaging kids in learning about preventing food poisoning in the classroom, at home, and on their mobile devices.

Perfect Picnic for iPhone turns kids into masters of their own picnic park - building out a fun space with grills, outdoor kitchens, trees, fountains and more. Kids earn income by renting out barbeque spots and keeping park visitors happy. But watch out - if there’s one sure way to ruin a perfect picnic it is food poisoning! Yuck!

Get Perfect Picnic here, and remember to give it a 5-star review and share it with your friends!

Join our email list to get weekly updates on the National Youth Campaign and other ways you can fight harmful BAC (bacteria)!

Perfect Picnic iPhone game is brought to you by the Partnership for Food Safety Education.

The BAC! Fighter National Youth Campaign is made possible by support from Cargill, Tyson Foods, Inc., and other generous supporters.
