Operation Food Safety

Operation Food Safety is a school curriculum developed by a food safety coalition in Arkansas. The coalition has plans to develop three separate curriculums--pre-K through grade 4, grades 5-8, and grades 9-12. The pre-K through grade 4 curriculum is completed and available to other educators for free. The curriculum covers three units--handwashing, keeping things clean, and keeping food hot or cold.

The curriculum uses activities such as games and puzzles to allow the student to learn food safety principles while having fun at the same time. The plan thus far is to have the two other curriculums completed and available during the 1999-2000 school year.
