food safety

This class has been focused on practical food safety tips. I prefer the narrated powerpoint with slides insted.

 First, choose and define an audience for your training program. This could be your spouse, your children, fellow soldiers or sailors, your grandparents, your community or church volunteers…a group of whoever you feel would benefit from learning about food safety.

You can either record yourself teaching this lesson to your audience using the classroom video tools or you can prepare a narrated PowerPoint presentation with slides created for each topic. Be sure you are also submitting a written “script” of what you say in your presentation in the event the audio does not work or is unclear. This script MUST be a separate word document. The script should be divided into the subtopics listed below.

The topics you should teach are listed below. The entire training presentation should be about 3-5 minutes long. Keep in mind the purpose of this activity is to show what you have learned about food safety.

• Title page/introduction – Begin by defining your audience (who are you teaching?)
• Introduction to food safety (basic definitions)
• How a food handler can contaminate food in a home kitchen
• Safe preparation practices. Address general information and make sure to identify one specific hazard related to one food item (such as raw chicken)
• Explain how the food supply is a global, interconnected market and the implications of economic conditions or infrastructure on food safety.
• Define one element of food defense such as tampering, bioterrorism, or food fraud, and provide an example.
• Any general food safety topics you want to include – resources for additional education, educational games, recall notices, etc.
• The last slide does not have to be narrated but it should list all your references. APA format should be used for your reference list. If you are recording yourself rather than slides, be sure to include a reference list (in APA format) on your submitted script.

If you are creating a narrated slide show, 6 topic slides would be sufficient, plus a title/intro slide and a reference slide. The presentation/training session should be between 3 and 5 minutes.
