Fight BAC! Food Safety Guidelines - Prevent Foodborne Illness #3719016 (License: Personal Use)

This educational infographic from the USDA and FDA promotes the four core food safety practices: Clean (wash hands and surfaces), Separate (avoid cross-contamination), Chill (refrigerate promptly), and Cook (use proper internal temperatures). At its center, a cartoon green bacterium labeled “BAC” is crossed out, symbolizing the goal of eliminating bacterial threats. Each quadrant includes visual cues-like a faucet, cutting boards, refrigerator, and thermometer-to reinforce best practices in home kitchens.

Used on government health websites, school nutrition programs, and foodservice training materials to teach consumers and professionals how to reduce risk of foodborne illness; matches user intent for food safety education, kitchen hygiene tips, or preventing salmonella/E. coli outbreaks.
