National Food Safety Education Month

September is National Food Safety Education Month! 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year,
an estimated 1 in 6 people in the United States (or 48 million people) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from eating contaminated food.

Anyone can get sick from a foodborne illness (also called food poisoning).

Learn how to take steps to help prevent food poisoning, and show others how to keep food safe.
