Excerpt
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), has prepared A Biosecurity Checklist for School Foodservice Programs: Developing a Biosecurity Management Plan. Its purpose is to help you protect the health of the children and adults in your school by strengthening the safety of your foodservice operation. While it is not mandatory, FNS encourages your school community to develop a team—to create a food biosecurity management plan that will help keep school meals free from intentional contamination and enable the foodservice to respond to threats or incidents of bioterrorism.
