National Food Safety Education Month 2024

Since its inception in 1994, NFSEM has played a crucial role in raising awareness about food borne illness prevention. The statistics are stark: the CDC estimates that 1 in 6 Americans contracts a food borne illness each year, leading to around 3,000 deaths and 128,000 hospitalizations. These numbers underline the critical importance of maintaining rigorous food safety standards across the supply chain.
