growing in temperature abused food and producing a heat stable toxin. Consumption
of this toxin (not the bacteria) can make you very sick, this is why foodborne

Food Storage Guidelines For Consumers |
|
Consumers get food in many ways. They can purchase their food from a convenience store, grocery store, or supermarket, grow or raise their own food, or receive food through a food pantry or other hunger relief program when needed. Often, an individual consumer will have access to more food than they can eat in a day and so it will need to be stored until it is used. This publication will address how you can safely store your food for optimal quality until you are ready to use and consume it. |

Elaboración de Conservas a Presión (Pressure Canning) |
|
El proceso para envasar alimentos en casa o conservas
caseras, depende de la acidez del alimento, lo cual se
determina por su pH. Los alimentos de baja acidez
tienen un pH más grande que 4.6, y los alimentos de
alta acidez tienen un pH menos que 4.6. En general,
los vegetales (verduras o hortalizas) y carnes son
alimentos de baja acidez, y las frutas son alimentos
alta acidez. Los alimentos de alta acidez pueden
procesarse de manera segura por agua hirviendo, pero
los alimentos de baja acidez se deben procesar en una
olla a presión para conservas. |

|
A good demonstration can motivate others to try new fruits and vegetables, eat more servings of them, and prepare them more nutritionally. Before you present a farmers market demonstration, check with the local market manager and/or health department for current regulations.
Next, pull out the old razzle-dazzle and leave your audience so star struck, they will come back to the farmers market for more! This demonstration activity can be used by adults and older youth. |

IMPORTANT FACTS About the Safety of Unpasteurized (Raw) Milk |
|
The majority of the milk and dairy products sold in the United States are pasteurized, which
means they go through a heat process that kills harmful bacteria (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli,
Campylobacter, etc.) that can be found in unpasteurized (raw) milk. Pasteurization not only
improves the safety of the milk but also lengthens its shelf life. |

Food Safety For School and Community Gardens: A Handbook for Beginning and Veteran Garden Organizers |
|
Creating and maintaining community and school gardens has been identified as an effective strategy to increase healthy food awareness and consumption. Unfortunately, fresh fruits and vegetables have been linked to more than 450 outbreaks of foodborne illness in the U.S. since 1990. In commercial food production, employing a set of risk-reduction steps — known as good agricultural practices (GAPs) — has been pointed to by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the best prevention against foodborne, illness-causing pathogens. |

Understanding and Managing Food Allergies |
|
Food allergies affect approximately 11 percent of adults and approximately 8 percent of children in the United States. Over the last decade, the number of young people with food allergies has increased. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported an increase in food allergies in children of 50% from 1997 to 2011. Food allergies can be serious and life-threatening; severe reactions kill 100 to 200 Americans per year (University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2023). The risk of accidental exposure to foods can be reduced if physicians, parents, child care providers, and teachers work to minimize risks and provide a safe environment for children with food allergies. This publication provides general information and guidelines to manage food allergies at home, schools, day care centers, and camps. |
