"Home Food Safety ... It's in Your Hands" campaign, debuted during summer of 1999. Sponsored by the American Dietetic Association (ADA), the ADA Foundation, and the ConAgra Foundation, the campaign focuses on raising consumer awareness about home food safety.
Four key messages are used to emphasize simple solutions for proper home food handling:
As part of the campaign, ADA and ConAgra launched a new web site to provide home food safety tips and an interactive food safety quiz that tests a consumer's food safety knowledge. This web site can be accessed at: http://www.homefoodsafety.org
ADA offers a professional kit and a PowerPoint presentation to assist educators in their efforts. See the resources section in this newsletter for a description and ordering information. A free home food safety brochure is available to the consumer by sending a self-addressed, business-sized envelope with two stamps to ADA, NCND-Home Food Safety Brochure, 216 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60606. The campaign press kit and the consumer brochure are available in Spanish.
