Welcome to Food Safety in a Minute. I’m Susie Craig.

September is National Food Safety Month! It’s never too early to be a positive food safety role model for your children and grandchildren. Cooking together is a wonderful way to build skills and memories—especially when recipes highlight safe food handling. Here’s a resource with recipes that incorporate food safety practices.

The Partnership for Food Safety Education offers free kid-friendly recipes, coloring pages, and games online. Search The Healthy Lunch – A Cookbook for Young Cooks. Kids and teens created this free cookbook with 14 delicious recipes, healthy ingredients, and nutrition labels. Recipes include food safety practices: Handwashing, cooking temperatures, avoiding cross-contamination, and safe produce handling. Forty-eight pages of fun and food safety!

From Washington State University Extension, thanks for listening.
