Safe Recipe Activity Teacher Guide

Safe Recipe Activity for Middle School Students

Teacher Guide - Safe Recipe Activity for Middle School Students

The Safe Recipe Activity teaches students in grades 6-8 how to use the Safe Recipe Style Guide to create a “safe” recipe that includes basic instructions for safe food handling, preparation and storage. 

Multiple studies show that when people follow recipes that include basic food safety instructions, they significantly increase food safety behaviors.  The Safe Recipe Style Guide provides easy additions to any recipe that improve food safety practices.

Students can complete the activity on their own in about 30 minutes. Internet access and the use of either MS Word or Google Docs is required.  An outline of the activity with links to each page is provided below:
