Who is a BAC Fighter?

Anyone who cares about ending illness and death from foodborne infection. BAC Fighters simply fight BAC – harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. BAC Fighters can be dietitians, nutritionists, parents, caregivers, nurses, local, state, or federal public health officials, private company food safety professionals, health educators, food retailers, food producers, and more!

“I have been using Fight BAC! materials for many years. The four food safety messages are very important and easy for the kids to remember. My students are very enthusiastic and like to share the food safety information they learn in the classroom with their families at home.”

– Linda, Consumer Sciences Teacher, Allentown, PA

“Thank you so much for these wonderful educational materials.  There are so many wonderful handouts for health fairs and community education.  I would also like to include your information in our quarterly community newsletter.  In the spring newsletter issue, I would like to include Six Steps to Safer Fruits and Vegetables.”
