Description
This week’s discussion will help you prepare for the week 4 assignment, which will have you creating a public education visual or video.
More than likely, you have come across public health or public safety campaigns without even realizing it. You may have seen anti-smoking campaigns, campaigns encouraging exercise, or proper nutrition. There have been multiple public health campaigns aimed at food safety and safe food handling over the years.
Typically, September is National Food Safety Education Month, when the CDC focuses concerted efforts on educating the public about food safety and foodborne illnesses.
Do you recall ever seeing public education campaigns in the past, such as the one featured here?
Or maybe you saw this on a billboard or saw a tweet from @USDAFoodSafety.
Maybe this ad popped up while you were scrolling through social media…
There are many different sources of public safety education tools, including infographics, fact sheets, videos, and even games aimed at educating the public about food safety and how to handle food safely.
You can find a wide variety of food safety educational materials on the CDC’s webpage here: https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/communication/index.html
You can find videos aimed at educating the public about food safety on the USDA’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@USDAFoodSafety
You can also find educational resources for different ages at various other websites, including Fight Bac – Partnership for Food Safety Education: https://www.fightbac.org/nfsem/
As you explore these sites, you will see a variety of media used to attempt to educate the public and share information about food safety. Focus on the infographics and videos, as you will choose one of those for your week 4 assignment.
For this discussion, find and post a link to a food safety education asset, such as an infographic, fact sheet, video, or social media post. Comment on the content of the media piece and discuss its message and effectiveness.
