Be Food Safe is a program of the Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education.

The Be Food Safe program in Canada is made possible with generous support of Partnership members.

INTRODUCING: BE FOOD SAFE

According to recent Canadian population studies, Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada estimate that 11-13 million cases of food borne illness occur each year.

Research findings by the Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education reveal that despite the fact that a majority of adults feel confident they understand and follow safe food handling procedures, a sizeable number do not consistently follow certain safe food handling practices.

Some examples:
  • Only 15% of people consistently use a food thermometer. Using a food thermometer is important – you can’t tell food has been cooked safely by how it looks.
  • Over half of people say they defrost meat and poultry at room temperature at least 'sometimes.' This practice can allow bacteria to grow on food.
  • Only 50% of consumers reported washing their hands for 20 seconds, before and after handling food. Clean hands and surfaces often to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
