What is a Food Safety Advisor?

Food Safety Advisors are people interested in food safety and food preservation. The purpose of WSU's Food Safety Advisor is to extend WSU and USDA Research based gardening techniques and guidelines to residents of the county. They volunteer their time in the community to help others learn about food preservation, storage, and safety.

How to become a Food Safety Advisor?
The first step to becoming a Food Safety Advisor is to complete approximately 40 hours of training in food safety, preservation, storage and teaching methodology through WSU Cooperative Extension, Stevens County. In return, they commit 30 hours of their time per year by providing in-depth information to the public through workshops, and one-on-one contacts.
