The University of Illinois was awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Food Safety Outreach Program (CFDA 10.328) to develop and deliver tailored education and training to cottage food and home-based food producers. Over a three-year period ending August 2025, the University will create customized digital and in-person training materials on food safety, regulatory compliance, and entrepreneurship topics for this audience. An outreach and stakeholder engagement program will also be implemented. Oklahoma State University was provided a sub-award as part of this collaborative multi-state effort to address limited resources for food safety among cottage food and home-based food producers across Illinois and Oklahoma.
