Food Safety Programming for Vulnerable Populations

The very young, the very old, and persons with liver disease or other immune-compromising conditions are most at risk for serious consequences of food-borne illness. Louisiana has over 10,000 daycare, preschool and Head Start centers, and over 500 nursing homes and congregate meal sites. LA CES will develop and implement a train-the-trainer program targeting food handlers at these centers. Videos/materials from previous FSQ projects will be incorporated and distance learning technology will be used where possible.
