Record response to call for new astronauts
WASHINGTON, April 23 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service said it has started a series of educational podcasts that address food safety and education issues.
The FSIS, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said it will initially focus on providing small and very small plant owners, operators and employees with important information through the use of podcasts.
Subscribers will receive news and information about the agency's work to ensure public health protection through food safety. Officials said the podcasts will be short, factual audio and video files featuring scientists, policy experts and other specialists.
"FSIS is making significant advances in food safety with information on food safety policies, programs and initiatives that are of value to industry, consumers and other stakeholders" said Department of Agriculture Undersecretary for Food Safety Dr. Richard Raymond.
