The Federal Government has recently launched a new food safety website, FoodSafety.gov. The sub heading is, Your Gateway to Federal Food Safety Information. It is a great site, not only full of wonderful information, but arranged in an easy to navigate layout with easy to follow language.
The home page features ‘ask a question’ and ‘report a problem’ in the upper-right-hand corner. You can also subscribe to alerts and email updates as well as listen to podcasts and view videos. In addition there is a ‘recalls and alerts’ area that gives information about food recalls. The recalls and alerts information, like everything else on the site is easy to follow and written in an easy and concise manner. There is a feature called ‘get food safety widget’ that allows you to add the recall and alerts section to other websites or blogs.
Other options for additional information include: keep foods safe, food poisoning, inspections & compliance, news & events, multimedia & educational materials.
The site can be found at http://www.foodsafety.gov/index.html.
