- Engage local health departments for inspections and advice.
The Role of Attendees in Ensuring Food Safety
Attendees also play a critical role in food safety. If you notice any issues with the food served, such as unusual smells or undercooked items, don’t hesitate to speak up. Reporting these problems can help prevent others from getting sick.
In conclusion, food safety is a shared responsibility. By understanding the risks and advocating for proper food handling practices, we can all contribute to healthier and safer events.
