Food Safety – Whose Job Is It?–OLLI at U-M (50+)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M
Speaker: Bradley Marks, Ph.D., Professor of Biosystems Engineering, Michigan State University.
Do you want your food to be safe? How safe? With an estimated 48 million individuals falling victim to foodborne illness each year in the U.S., how do you know that your next meal is safe? What systems are in place to ensure the safety of your food? Who is responsible for making your food safe? How much are you willing to pay for safe food? Dr. Marks will provide an overview of our food safety system and lead an interactive discussion of these challenging questions. His work includes teaching and research in food safety engineering, currently focused on the transport and inactivation of pathogens in ready-to-eat food products. Dr. Marks also leads the MSU Food Safety Group, a multidisciplinary group of approximately 28 faculty members across more than 12 academic departments.
This is the fifth of six lectures in the series: “Our Food Supply: A Complicated Story.”
