Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Enough evidence based research has been shared with participants that they now wash their hands before cooking, wash their hands after handling raw meats, clean surfaces to prevent contamination, and they no longer thaw items on the counter.
