Food Safety Resources

The FNS Office of Food Safety develops education, instruction and technical assistance resources for individuals working in federally funded nutrition assistance programs such as the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Many of these resources are created in partnership with the Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN). This page contains links to these resources and other food safety resources that may be helpful to school nutrition and child care employees.
