Nutrition Nuggets Newsletter Sept 2021 - Solano Family & Children's Services

Solano Family & Children's Services,

Child Care Food Program September 2021

Nutrition Nuggets

September: National Food Safety Education Month

This is a great time to explore ways to promote safe food handling and prevent foodborne illnesses. You can use this opportunity to emphasize the importance of food safety principles. It's important for people to understand how their behavior and activities contribute to the safety of food and how they can decrease the risk of foodborne illness, while also reducing food waste. It is important to know that foodborne illness can result in more than just a few unpleasant days of fever and tummy troubles. It can also result in long-term effects and can even be deadly.
