Food Safety Rules for College students

Here is a very good article on “ Food Safety for College students “ from the Food Safety news Site.

The college lifestyle is not exactly conducive to a healthy and safe eating environment. Given the academic rigor of college life, the lack of a reliable bank statement and the desire to find the next party, food safety is not quite at the top of a college student’s priority list.

As a result, the college setting can be a hotbed for unsafe food handling practices and food borne illness.

The reality is that basic food safety is incredibly simple and painless to follow. The aim is to provide students with a reliable, easy-to-follow set of food safety practices.

Obstinacy and unawareness are not worth the risk of food borne illness, so always be mindful of proper food safety practices.
