So, what’s this site about, anyhow?

The Food Safety Smart Project is a friendly guide to eating safe and living well. More specifically, I’ll be updating this site with up-to-date food safety news. I shall also write articles with practical tips on eating safely, and articles that explain food microbiology and food science research in simple, easy to understand language.

Do you have a background in food safety?

Yup! After receiving my B.S. in Food Science concentrating on food microbiology, I worked as a food microbiologist, looking for harmful germs like E. coli in food. I have also worked or volunteered at various university research labs that focused on food microbiology, and interned at a small meat processing facility monitoring it for Listeria bacteria.

My experiences have given me a real passion for food science and food safety, which led me to entering a M.S. program in Food Science focusing on consumer food safety, and now, to writing this blog!
