The Food Safety Human Factor lab attended the Consumer Food Safety Education Conference at the Sysco Headquarters on March 13 – 14 in Houston, Texas. This two-day conference brought together food safety professionals and educators from across the state, all dedicated to advancing consumer food safety education.
