Food Safety
Food safety, one of the seven required lessons of Healthy Choices for Every Body, a University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, through the Nutrition Education Program Adult Curriculum, helped Trigg County’s 92% adult graduates of limited resource families adopt new healthy lifestyles. Among those changes was an increase in food safety.
Trigg County SNAP-Ed Assistant reported 92% adult graduates of the Nutrition Education Program showed improvement in food safety. Indicating that 89% washed their hands before handling food, 78% cleaned items / surfaces more often after contact with raw meat or seafood, 100% thaw frozen food less often at room temperature and use a meat thermometer more often. These changes will reduce the risk of food borne illness and help families stay healthy.
