THE U-S DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE'S FOOD SAFETY
AND INSPECTION SERVICE, OR F-S-I-S HAS LAUNCHED A
MOBILE VERSION OF ITS FOOD SAFETY WEBSITE FEATURE.
Dr. Elisabeth Hagen: Ask Karen has been a feature
we've had on our website for years now and we're
now launching mobile version of Ask Karen.
People rely more and more on their mobile devices to
get quick information and now they can have Karen on
their phone twenty four hours a day.
And, you know, we hope that folks will use her as
a tool to help answer some really important food
safety questions.
You're making burgers on the grill and you want to
know how can I be sure that they're done and
what's the right temperature and how do I
measure that so you can go ask Ask Karen, what's the
safe cooking temperature for ground beef and she'll
tell you it's one hundred sixty degrees.
MOBILE ASK KAREN WAS INTRODUCED AT AN F-S-I-S
FOOD SAFETY CAMP AT A SCHOOL JUST OUTSIDE OF
WASHINGTON D-C.
Karen Soneira: The use of technology is the access
to a child's mind.
Children play with their parents' phone they use
technology at home.
Many of our students have their own cell phones.
THE CAMP ALSO TAUGHT LESSONS ABOUT FOOD SAFETY
AND HEALTHY EATING.
Hagen: I'm looking forward to seeing all of you going
through the stations and learning about clean,
separate, cook and then chill.
Mariann Ige: Because if we don't clean the food then
bacteria will come on to the food.
David Chaney: Healthy foods are yummy, and they
make you strong and big and that we should clean
the fruits vegetables before we eat them.
