Foodborne Illness in the United States: New Estimates for Major Pathogens
Thursday, April 24
1 p.m. Eastern
Estimating the number of illnesses caused by foodborne pathogens is critical for allocating resources and prioritizing interventions.
In this free webinar, Dr. Elaine Scallan Walter of the Colorado School of Public Health will present new estimates of domestically acquired foodborne illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths in the United States caused by seven major pathogens in 2019. These updated estimates use surveillance data and other sources, adjusted for underreporting and underdiagnosis, and can inform policy and direct food safety interventions.
CEUs are not offered for this presentation.
Freezing & Frozen Food Safety: Maximizing Nutrition, Convenience & Affordability
Wednesday, May 14
1 to 2 p.m. Eastern
A well-stocked freezer can save time and money, but only if food is stored and handled correctly. Join us for this free webinar, featuring expert Dr. Sanjay Gummalla, senior vice president of scientific affairs at the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), who will unpack the science behind freezing, including the microbial risks involved and the common challenges consumers face when handling and preparing frozen food, especially for vulnerable subpopulations.
We’ll also discuss the importance of following preparation and cooking instructions as well as some at-risk behaviors and resources to communicate best practices. Finally, we will explore how proper freezer temperatures and smart storage habits can help consumers reduce waste, stay on budget, and protect their health.
Join this webinar to learn how you can contribute to our shared goal of “getting more consumers to consistently follow proper chilling practices,” as outlined in Healthy People 2030.
