In preparation for the holiday season, United Fresh, along with the other members of the non-profit U.S. Partnership for Food Safety Education have launched HolidayFoodSafety.org. The online portal for both retailers and consumers is designed to provide resources for maintaining a healthy and safe kitchen and dinner table for the holidays.

Led by the National Turkey Federation and the Georgia Pecan Commission, HolidayFoodSafety.org. provides consumers with shopping and storage tips, recipes and even resources for kids, all geared toward maintaining a safe and bacteria-free environment when preparing, serving and storing perishable products like fruit and vegetables, meat and dairy products.

Additionally, the site has downloadable signage, templates and other resources for retailers, aimed at encouraging grocery stores, supermarkets and other retailers to foster safe practices at the point of purchase.

Creators of FightBAC, the U.S. Partnership for Food Safety Education is comprised of United Fresh and 19 other associations and non-profit organizations dedicated to keeping the American consumer safe from foodborne illness. More can be found online at www.fightbac.org.
