infographic/poster

  Be creative and remember the purpose is to educate the general public about the pathogen, how it can cause illness, and how to prevent becoming ill from the pathogen. The real-world example must be caused by the same pathogen you are teaching. 

 Show what you have learned about foodborne illness, proper handling, and food safety barriers. The product for this week’s assignment will be a public safety message to educate the public on food safety.

You may choose to prepare an infographic/poster that would be used as a television /social media video ad.

The goal is to teach the public about a foodborne pathogen, how an outbreak was caused by that pathogen, and explain how to prevent becoming ill from that pathogen. 

  create a poster/infographic, be sure it is legible, clear, and the text is not copied and pasted 

The following elements must be included:

• Provide a definition of the pathogen and include a link to a valid page to show where you found that definition. Be sure to identify what type of pathogen this is (bacteria, virus, etc.) and what illness it causes (such as salmonellosis caused by the bacteria salmonella). You do not need to include the strain or get overly scientific – remember your audience is the general public.
• Describe or show what food or foods typically become contaminated with that pathogen and why/how.
• Show/explain how to prevent becoming ill from that pathogen. Include the typical symptoms that are caused by that pathogen as well as the onset time (incubation period – ingestion to symptoms).
• Find a real-world example of a foodborne illness outbreak caused by that pathogen and explain why/how the food became contaminated. Explain how that outbreak could have been prevented (i.e. the grower testing irrigation water, the consumer cooking it to a proper temperature, etc.)
• Include any and all sources used – these do not need to be listed in APA format, but you should provide a valid URL (website address).
