Scary, isn't it? But before you start to stare suspiciously at every iota of food on your plate, take advantage of the excellent food safety resources on the Internet. For topics such as botulism, water safety, and dealing with those inevitable power-outage-freezer-dies emergencies, check the Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Food and Nutrition at http://www.colostate.edu/depts/CoopExt/P...
You can order a variety of food and nutrition publications, including food safety, preparation, and preservation.
Another useful site is the cleverly named and graphically amusing Fight Bac! at http://www.fightbac.org/
This food safety campaign includes food safety facts, simple steps to reduce the risk of contamination, and downloadable graphics. "Hot Links" connects to other useful sites that also deal with food safety issues.
Want to know about food regulations around the world? Then visit the IFIC Food Safety & Nutrition Information Web pages at http://ificinfo.health.org/infofsn.htm
Topics range from seafood safety to E.coli to pesticides, with background info about relevant studies.
And last, but by no means, least is the always reliable Healthfinder. It offers a variety of links to food-safety-related Web sites and organizations, such as government agencies and professional groups. You can also find out who to contact if you have a food safety question. The Food Safety link is http://www.healthfinder.gov/htmlgen/HFKe...
