An Educator's Guide to Food Safety Material | PartSelect. Teaching food safety to our students can help eliminate toxins waiting to attack and weaken our immune systems. Bacteria hides in raw meats, cutting boards, counter tops, sponges and many other household surfaces. Cross-contamination can occur easily, resulting in bacterium-riddled food that can cause illness.

Fortunately, there are several techniques that one can use to protect themselves through food safety. Natural bacteria and toxins are not the only concern when it comes to the importance of food safety. Technological changes, such as the use of pesticides and bioterrorism, result in more hazards to our health. Pesticides can stay in our bodies for years, even after washing, and thrive in our environment while traveling miles by water, dust and wind. It’s essential to maintain food safety during every aspect before consumption.
