LU-MRRL Lecture Series Event: "Salad and Safety: What We Need to Know About Fresh Produce"

Interested in learning more about how fruits and vegetables are a leading source of foodborne illness in the U.S.? Then join us on January 14 for our next lecture series event, "Salad and Safety: What We Need to Know About Fresh Produce." Dr. Sujan Acharya, professor of food science, will offer practical steps for maintaining safer produce and include a brief case study that demonstrates how everyday habits influence food safety. The session emphasizes how informed handling practices support both healthy eating and confidence in the safety of food prepared at home.
