GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.

Assignment Directions:

Part 1: Foodborne Pathogen Tracing

  • Trace the path of a recent (within the last 10 years) food-borne illness outbreak in the U.S. How could this have been prevented? What changes have been made as a result of this outbreak? How can foodborne pathogen outbreaks like the one you reviewed impact global food markets?
  • Be sure to provide at least two credible references to support your claims.

Part 2: Reflection

In a 100-word reflection, explain any of the food safety misconceptions that surprised you from the YouTube videos in the Unit 4 Reading. Were there any misconceptions which you previously held as true? Perhaps there are other food safety myths you have further questions about?
