Join us for two, free Web Seminars featuring scientists and education specialists from the Food and Drug Administration, FDA. The seminars will focus on food microbiology, food processing, food epidemiology, the food label, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines, and the public health impact of food safety. The presenters will share their science expertise, answer questions from the participants, and provide information regarding web sites that students can use in the classroom.
