CNP food safety education

This $398,085.00 federal Cooperative Agreement award was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) under the FNS Food Safety Grants program (CFDA 10.585). The funding supports the development and delivery of food safety education and training for USDA nutrition assistance programs such as the National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program. Kansas State University, doing business as Pre-Awards Services, will lead this project to increase awareness and implementation of food safety best practices among program participants and stakeholders. The university will create educational materials, provide hands-on training, and conduct food safety research over the one-year period of performance from September 2023 to September 2024. As a land-grant institution with deep agricultural and food safety expertise, Kansas State University is well-positioned to effectively execute this cooperative agreement award.
