In honor of Food Safety Education Month, we launched a new series featured in NACCHO’s Podcast from Washington.
Beginning September 19, we showcased stories from local jurisdictions highlighting their innovative work to improve food safety in their communities. Their stories demonstrate how local health departments can implement food safety programs to improve public health and create a robust food safety program.
