One-stop access for food safety information
One-stop access for food safety information

(NC)—A new website offers one-stop access for all your questions about food safety. Launched in March by the Government of Canada, this food safety website (www.healthycanadians.gc.ca) brings together all government information on food safety in one place.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, which work together closely on food safety, have collaborated to develop this new site. Canada has a world class food safety system, but we can – and must – continue to make improvements. This new website will be the place to go for recalls and food safety information.

The food safety website provides a broad range of food safety information, such as safe food handling and preparation, food labels, food recalls and allergy alerts, and foodborne illness. It also describes how consumers, government and industry must work together on food safety. The site also features tools and resources for teachers, including safe-food handling videos and a food safety-wheel game for young learners.

Not only does the website provide a smorgasbord of information on food safety, it offers free delivery! By signing up for email alerts, consumers can receive food recalls and allergy alerts right to their email inbox. You can also report a food safety problem.

For more information, visit www.HealthyCanadians.gc.ca or call 1-800-0-Canada (1-800-622-6232).
