Foodsafe Week 8-14 November 2010

Gear up for summer during 2010 Foodsafe Week!

This is the week aimed at promoting safe food practices throughout New Zealand. Foodborne illnesses increase during summer, but this can be prevented by thoroughly washing and drying your hands and handling and storing your food to prevent bugs growing and spreading.

Check out the competition page in November to see what great prizes you can win, kindly sponsored by our industry partners.

Consider running a special Foodsafe Day or run regular Foodsafe activities as a full weekly focus in your school. A Foodsafe Day provides a good opportunity for your students to learn food safety and show off their food handling knowledge with fun educational activities.

Use our material and resources to get your school or organisation on board and help make a difference this year. Check out the available downloads and what you can do to help spread the message.
