The article presents the findings of a survey on food safety risks at school not related to school meals. Food sales as fundraisers are popular at many schools as a means to generate funds. Although foods sold on campus by non-foodservice professionals and student organizations may be an important source of revenue, they also can be potentially hazardous. The risk of illness increases when individuals unaware of safe food-handling practices are responsible for food preparation and storage. This is an issue of concern and can become a potential liability for school administrators. If administrators are not aware of the risks associated with food borne illness and the liability issues inherent in the sale of foods for fundraising, the consequences could be substantial. It appears that administrators are delegating authority for food sales to non-foodservice personnel who are not very knowledgeable about the requirements for food-handling permits. It is opined that the results from this survey can be used to raise awareness of potential health risks and liability issues involved in having food fundraising programs on campus and placing non-foodservice personnel in charge of such programs. |
