Students presented their dishes, reporting ‘the recipe helped me to cook safely’ and explaining ‘I washed up thoroughly and kept my eggs in the fridge!’.

The Recip-e-book, alongside six additional SafeConsume food hygiene resources have been designed with young consumers in mind, supporting education both in the classroom and at home.

Students said they learnt from the session and highlighted the importance of these resources, stating, ‘It’s important to cook hygienically to avoid food poisoning’.

The suite of SafeConsume teaching resources including lessons for students aged 11-14 and 14-18, recip-e-book and debate kit have been developed using input from students and teachers around Europe.
