Item Evaluating food safety education in hospitality management programs through the lenses of situated learning theory: Insights from industry leaders and educators(Elsevier, 2023-11) Wen, Han; Liu-Lastres, Bingjie; Vo, Le Bich Ngoc; Tourism, Event, & Sport Management, School of Health and Human SciencesFood safety is essential in hospitality management education, but there has been great concern about students' knowledge, attitude, and practices about food safety. Guided by the situated learning theory, this study evaluated contemporary food safety education in U.S. colleges and identified needs for future improvement. This paper reports the findings of two studies: the first interviewed 20 industry leaders in hospitality management, and the second interviewed 10 food safety educators. The results showed that, despite its importance, food safety education in colleges had heavily relied on commercialized programs such as ServSafe®, and taking these courses is unmotivating for students. Moreover, practitioners acknowledge the importance of food safety, but their implementation of food safety training can be limited by organizational size and staffing issues. Based on the theory and the findings, this study provided suggestions for improving food safety education in U.S. higher education institutions.Item Genetically engineered foods: U.S. safety regulation of genetically engineered crops(Cornell University, 2002) Genetically Engineered Organisms Public Issues Education ProjectFact sheet about U.S. government regulation of food safety for genetically-engineered crops.Item Genetically modified organisms, consumers, food safety and the environment(2001) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsDiscusses the ethical issues of genetically-engineered foods with respect to consumer health, the food supply, and the environment.Item USDA's biotechnology deregulation process (BRS factsheet)(2006-02) United States.
