Low Literacy Food Safety Education for Food Service/Food Processing Employees

A significant portion of food-borne illness is caused by poor hygiene or poor food handling procedures of food service workers and food processing employees. The goal of this project is to improve food safety practices of low literacy food service and food processing employees. To achieve this goal, a packaged,efficient set of food safety training materials will be developed and tested. The curriculum will be largely pictorial (in the form of a pictorial flip chart) and will be adapted for use by both English- and Spanish- speaking clientele.
