Basem’s Story Solidified His Learning

February 23, 2017

One of the best ways to solidify the new strategies you learn is to apply them and teach them.

Basem Boutros is a CFSEC2017 scholarship student who explains how he applied his new learning from the conference to a story in his life and made his new learning permanent.

 Basem sent us his story:

The 2017 Consumer Food Safety Education Conference drew to my attention to several aspects that contribute to food safety behavior.  In this brief story, I see that I experienced a goal of food safety behavior change, self-regulation, without even realizing it!

Self-regulation refers to controlling oneself through self-monitoring.

In the past, I worked in a restaurant as prep cook/line cook and there were food safety standards in place that we all, as a back-of-the-house staff, were committed to.

Much of my job required the preparation and handling of raw chicken. One time, while I was preparing to put chicken wings in the mixing bowl to bread them, I checked the box and found that the wings were slimy and emitted an obnoxious smell.

I let the chef know and he recommended disposing of them. I felt like if it had not been for the pre-check I did, as a result of self-monitoring,  many people may have gotten sick!

That’s my learning story.

Go BAC Fighters!

Basem Boutros is specializing in food safety as a PhD student in Hospitality Management at Kansas State University.

Three Ways BAC Fighters Can Boost Outreach

February 1, 2017

Whether you attended the CFSEC2017 or not!

The late January 2017 Consumer Food Safety Education Conference- Advancing Food Safety Though Behavior Change showed what a  powerful force for preventive health we are! The conference shined a bright light on the outstanding work of BAC Fighters in the United States and  beyond.

Keep the Momentum Going!

Tap into the  lessons and resources that were shared by  top experts in the field and our peers.  Use these  new tools and resources to build more effective programming and to build on your history of helping to keep consumers safe from food borne illness.

Here are 3 specific boosts you can start with:

Boost #1 – Review  conference presentations   www.fightbac.org/events/conference-2017-presentations/  and take just one day to consider how what you learned can be put to work for better consumer health today, next month, or in the year ahead!

Boost #2 – Consider your  “A-ha” moment.  What really hit you  while listening to a conference presenter?  Write and  tell us about it: mary.choate@fightbac.firelinkonline.com
