| dc.description.abstract | Food for thought, every year in the United States, foodborne illness accounts for notable losses of healthy life years. Given that food and water supplies are the basis for human survival, it seems likely that institutions of higher learning would be a logical place for a robust educational platform to be interjected. College students may not thrive securely as healthy, productive adults without foundational food safety skills and knowledge. Therefore, a short, interactive, engaging food safety curriculum was developed for college students working in Dining Services at Pensacola Christian College. The emphasis on collegiate dining services may exponentially mitigate the toll of foodborne illness as college campuses being one of the latter points of preparatory insertion of knowledge for building life skills and seeking advancement in education. The ultimate goal of this training is to provide a basis for food safety practices through strategic and cohesive training within the collegiate arena (in this case one university dining service team of 600-800 students). | en |
