Question: Investigate current consumer concerns about the safety and availability of foods and water globally.
Directions: Complete an evaluation of your kitchen's safety.
1. Conduct a safety review of your kitchen in your house.
Spend some time in your kitchen reviewing the process of how food is handled throughout the kitchen area.
• You could start with the refrigerator. What temperature is it set at? What should it be? When cooking food, do you know what temperature to cook certain items to such as beef, eggs, and leftovers?
• How about hand washing techniques? Do you have hand soap and clean, dry towels by the kitchen sink?
• Be creative with this assignment and complete a full kitchen review.
2. Research online to search for food and kitchen safety tips at www.fda.gov sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other credible sites.
