Health & Nutrition

Learning to eat healthfully also can stretch family foods budgets. Food

In order to prevent food borne illnesses, K-State University scientists and educators present information on safe food handling practices for the benefit of Kansans.  Food Safety: Consumers require protection from food safety hazards. An estimated 76 million cases of food borne illness occur in the united States each year, resulting in about 325,00 hospitalizations and more that 5,000 deaths. Food safety programs are needed for on-going consumer protection from food supply hazards.
