Feedback:
Unsafe food preparation is an area that could be reduced in incidence if people knew more about it and took active interventions to reduce its occurrence or spread. The 2020 National Health Goals addressing these include reducing infections caused by key pathogens transmitted commonly through food and increasing the proportion of consumers who follow key food safety practices of "Chill: refrigerate promptly.". Nurses can help the nation achieve the goal by counseling parents about safe food preparation and serving as consultants to those responsible for food preparation.
