The need for access to food safety information will markedly increase in the following years, especially with new food safety regulations, media attention, and advances in Internet technologies. We propose to enhance the ability of the Cooperative Extension Serv ice to meet the demands of the food service industry by producing an "intelligent" menu structure, downloadable interactive software, full-length videos, online certification training, and multilingual needs.
The National Food Safety Database has become the U.S.'s most comprehensive on-line source of full-text information for the food service industry. The NFSD has great utility, evidenced by over 10,000 requests/day, over 145,000 distinct users, an international audience of 85 countries, and numerous examples of other WWW sites that link to the NFSD.
