The curriculum for National Food Safety Education Month is broken down into five weekly themes, with each theme stressing a different aspect of food safety and high-risk customers. These themes cover topics such as recognizing high-risk customers, children and food safety risk, foods to avoid, minimum internal cooking temperatures, and food safety risk factors. All NFSEM materials are based on the National Restaurant Association’s ServSafe food safety training and certification program. The materials communicate food safety concepts efficiently and all the activities can be completed in less than 10 minutes.
