Food Safety

Food Safety is Everyone's Business

Body

The safety of our food impacts our health and how we show up for the people we love. Food travels several miles and, at times, goes through many stages and processes before we consume it. It is important for everyone along the food supply chain to protect food from contamination. Illinois Extension provides growers, producers, and farmers with resources and support to contribute to a safer food supply.
