NC State University Cooperative Extension Teaches Kids to Fight BAC!
Melinda Houser Leads 4-H Program
Melinda Houser does her part to Fight BAC by teaching kids through the North Carolina State University Cooperative Extension Health Champion Challenge. In the 4-H program she leads, kids between ages 9 to 13 learn about everything from exercise to nutrition to food safety. For the food safety portion of the program, participants learn about safe food handling with a hands-on food preparation demonstration. The kids also get to use a black light to show where all the germs are lurking in the kitchen to drive home the importance of cleaning counter tops and food preparation areas. The Partnership for Food Safety Education thanks Melinda for her work to educate others about food safety!
The National Chicken Council Debunks Myth
Rinsing Raw Poultry Does Not Remove Bacteria
The Partnership for Food Safety Education isn’t the only organization working to bust food safety myths! Recently, the National Chicken Council referenced Home Food Safety Mythbusters in their outreach to the media. The National Chicken Council noted the fact that rinsing raw poultry does not remove bacteria but can lead to cross-contamination. Never rinse raw meat or poultry products in order to prevent possible cross contamination in the sink and kitchen. Thanks to the National Chicken Council for doing their part to correct common food safety misperceptions and keep consumers healthy and informed!

Fairchild Airmen Fight BAC! ®
Lead by BAC! Fighter Darla Klausner, the airmen of Fairchild Air Force Base (AFB) answered the call – the call to Fight BAC!® In April, through collaboration with the 92nd Public Health Flight and the Defense Commissary Agency, Darla executed a Fight BAC!® Food Safety Awareness Campaign at the Fairchild AFB Commissary. Their mission: to provide Fairchild residents with information on how to properly clean, separate, cook, and chill food to prevent foodborne illness.
Over a busy couple of days, Darla and her team of airmen from the 92nd Public Health Flight distributed Fight BAC!® fliers, magnets, and stickers to commissary patrons. By the campaign’s end, they had reached over 300 people, stressing the importance of food safe practices. Mission accomplished!
Interacting face to face with consumers is a powerful way to drive food safety messages home – we salute Darla and the airmen at Fairchild for their work in spreading food safe messages! Together, we can achieve a food safe America.
