2024 NAAE Convention

In this session, participants will gain practical skills to execute a hands-on contamination activity tailored for their educational settings. Beginning with a short formal lecture, participants will expand their understanding of meat and food handling, covering fundamental techniques, common contamination sources, and transmission pathways. This comprehensive understanding will be put into action through the engaging 'Contamination Lab'. Participants will handle both potentially contaminated and uncontaminated meat and food products (glogerm). Subsequently, they will employ a black light to visualize the extent of glogerm contamination. Through this experiential exercise, attendees will connect the knowledge gained from the lecture with real-world observations.
