FDA Upgrades Education Resource Library
Constituent Update
September 1, 2021
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has upgraded its Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) Education Resource Library to allow users to locate information faster and with more ease. The online library provides consumers, industry, educators, dietitians, health professionals, and regulators with a catalog of more than 350 printable educational materials and videos on topics related to food safety, nutrition (including labeling and dietary supplements), agricultural biotechnology, and cosmetics. Design upgrades to the library include a new and improved cloud-based interface and key word search function.
Other library features:
- Library materials are free of charge and available in PDF format for immediate download.
- Most library materials are available in both English and Spanish.
- Some print materials can be ordered and shipped individually or in limited quantities.
- The FDA can only ship print publications to customers located in the United States or U.S. Territories.
- Assistance is available if users have a problem processing their order by sending an email to CFSANPublicationRe@fda.hhs.gov.
The library upgrade coincides with the start of National Food Safety Education Month, observed every September to spotlight foodborne illness prevention. Throughout the month of September and beyond, the FDA and other federal public health agencies will share resources like the FDA’s Education Resource Library to help promote safe food handling practices among consumers and industry to prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses.
