Assignment Directions:
Part 1: Foodborne Pathogen Tracing
Trace the path of a recent (within the last 10 years) food-borne illness outbreak in the U.S. How could this have been prevented? What changes have been made as a result of this outbreak? How can foodborne pathogen outbreaks like the one you reviewed impact global food markets?
Be sure to provide at least two credible references to support your claims.
Part 2: Reflection
In a 100-word reflection, explain any of the food safety misconceptions that surprised you from the YouTube videos in the Unit 4 Reading. Were there any misconceptions which you previously held as true? Perhaps there are other food safety myths you have further questions about?
