FoodSafety.gov
Spinach, beef, tomatoes, peanut butter? Not sure what is safe to eat? The government has started a site to inform consumers of the latest food safety concerns at foodsafety.gov.
The site is complete with a food safety widget that offers breaking news on recalls, an ‘ask the expert’ section and lots of information about food storage and safety for consumers.
I have found that knowing exactly where my food comes from is crucial to my food safety. Get to know your local farmers at the farmers market or join a CSA share. There are now shares for meat, poultry and fish! At restaurants, ask for local, in season foods. The more consumers demand it, the more we will see.
