Food Safety and Nutrition
|
During this full-day symposium, FDA scientists and master educators guided participants through easy-to-understand
explanations about the food label and nutrition, food science careers, foodborne pathogens, and outbreaks.
In addition to providing a science update, the presenters modeled activities that participants can use in their
classrooms with their students, including a guided tour of "Label Man," an interactive learning program that
provides consumers with information to help plan a healthful diet while managing calorie intake.
The program was designed for teachers of grades 5-8. All participants received educational materials from the FDA,
including a DVD of the interactive program called: "Dr. X and the Quest for Food Safety." The symposium was held at
the NSTA National Conference on Science Education in St. Louis, MO.
