The USDA-NIFA funded project GLEAN: Game Learning to Educate and Advanced Knowledge: Transformative Food Safety Training for Farmers Market Vendors sought to share food safety practices for farmers market vendors by identifying knowledge gaps, developing training materials based on scientifically based standards, and evaluating the effect of the training on the audience.
The Ready Set Go! game incorporates essential content on food safety such as rules for operating within a market, including handling challenges such as the presence of pets and the difficulty of handwashing in an outdoor market. It addresses food safety best practices for handling fresh produce, eggs, dairy, meat, processed produce, and added-value products.
