Health Is Freedom!

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised people’s awareness around chronic underlying health conditions and how these conditions make it very difficult for a body to fight off infection.

A NYU Langone Health study found that among coronavirus patients under age 60, those with obesity were twice as likely to be hospitalized and were at even higher risk of requiring critical care.

This new blog post by PFSE Executive Director, Shelley Feist, highlights the importance of food safety fundamentals for people with chronic health conditions.

COVID-19 Resources & Messages

Many people are still concerned about how COVID-19 affects the food they eat and surfaces they touch. We can count on YOU to continue promoting hand hygiene, surface cleaning and sanitizing as fundamentals to good health.

This Coronavirus Resource Page highlights key messages and resources for you to share with your community.

Additional Resources:

PFSE Factsheets: Clean | Separate | Cook | Chill
CDC: Tips for Meal Kit and Food Delivery Safety
FDA: Food Safety in Your Kitchen
USDA: Food Safety for the Delivery of Groceries & Prepared Meals

Families want the facts that put them in control. Please share these resources in your community!

Social Posts — Copy and Share!

Even though the world is in crisis, one thing remains constant: people need to eat! Here are three social media messages you can copy and share:

Grocery delivery today? Rinse your fresh fruits & vegetables under running water just before preparing or eating. https://bit.ly/3bslCOH #grocerydelivery #staysafe #veggies #covid19

Restaurant take-out tonight? Reheat your entrée on microwave-safe plate. Wash your hands before & after handling food. http://bit.ly/373fA4C #takeout #handwashing #dinnertonight

Trying a new meal kit? When you prepare food at home remember the practices of clean, separate, cook & chill can reduce your risk from harmful #germs. http://bit.ly/2NzFZzX #foodsafety #mealkit

You can help families stay healthy at home during this time by reminding them of food safety basics.

Prevent Campylobacter This Summer!

Campylobacter jejuni is a common foodborne germ that causes illness in 1.5 million people each year in the United States.

Safe food handling will reduce the risk of food poisoning from Campylobacter — ensuring a great summer cookout:

Every safe meal starts with washing hands with soap and water.
Use a different cutting board for raw poultry and for chopping fresh fruits and vegetables and other ready-to-eat foods.
Always wash your cutting board after preparing each food item and before you go on to the next food.
Rinsing raw poultry is not a safety step! Doing so can spread dangerous germs around your kitchen.
Cook poultry to an internal temperature of 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer. This is an important food safety step!

Share these summer food safety reminders with your friends, family and social networks. Together we can reduce the risks of Campylobacter infection!

Is Your Dinner the Same Old, Same Old?

Right now we spend so much energy thinking about the big things — keeping our families safe and preparing our kids for school — that we have little energy left for other important everyday things, like what we should have for dinner.

The food industry calls it “family meal fatigue.”

In this new blog post, BAC Fighter Chef Leslie Owens shares dinner inspiration and how to add food safety steps to your recipe.

Health Is Freedom!

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised people’s awareness around chronic underlying health conditions and how these conditions make it very difficult for a body to fight off infection.

A NYU Langone Health study found that among coronavirus patients under age 60, those with obesity were twice as likely to be hospitalized and were at even higher risk of requiring critical care.

This new blog post by PFSE Executive Director, Shelley Feist, highlights the importance of food safety fundamentals for people with chronic health conditions.

Cyclospora Event Recording Available

More than 100 BAC Fighters participated in the live Q&A event "Cyclospora in Bagged Salads." Thank you to all who attended!

If you missed the live event, a free recording is available now!
