Science and Our Food Supply: Investigating Food Safety from Farm to Table

ACTIVITY AT A GLANCE

In this activity, students will develop an awareness of the importance of food safety in 

retail food establishments. They will be challenged to design and manage their own  

food-safe supermarket department, from researching the food safety needs of a specific 

food department through designing that department, using the 4 Cs of Food Safety. At 

the end of this activity, each team will present its findings in an innovative presentation.  

(A fast food restaurant could be substituted for a supermarket. See the Fast-Food 

Footwork activity on page 61 of the Teacher’s Guide for Middle Level Classrooms.)
