@FrankYiannasFDA
- Thanks @IAFPFood for putting on this webinar on the use of A.I. to support microbiological methods validation. Increasingly, advancing food safety requires a multidisciplinary approach. Well done. #SmarterFoodSafety https://bit.ly/3hEMQp6
- Thanks @UnitedFresh for letting me zoom-bomb (similar to photo-bomb) your session. Seriously, thanks to you & your members for all that you’re doing to protect workers & provide safe, available food for consumers at this critical time. hubs.ly/H0rD8kW0
@SecretarySonny
- These extensions are a testament to the great work done in support of American agriculture and the American people. They are also a testament that the program is accomplishing what we intended – supporting U.S. farmers and distributors and getting food to those who need it most.
- RT @USDA: We’re extending the contracts of select vendors from the first round of the Farmers to Families Food Box Program. Details: https://go.usa.gov/xwESJ

@FDAfood
- You have probably heard of #GMOs, but how much do you know about them? Learn the basics and help educate others with FDA’s Feed Your Mind’s science-based educational resources, now available in Spanish! https://go.usa.gov/xvsGR
- RT @TeamNutrition: Garden-based nutrition education can be a fun #StayAtHome activity for kids. From small pots to full garden plots, find free #gardening lessons and activities to fit gardens of all shapes and sizes: http://ow.ly/ns1J50AbmAc
- Trying to use foods already at home? First turn on “detective mode.” Don’t just rely on the date label that appears on a package. Investigate. Look at and smell the food for signs of spoilage to know if it is ok to eat. More tips here: https://go.usa.gov/xwyW7
