Don’t Eat the Pseudoscience: Navigating Misinformation and Disinformation on Social Media Platforms

Feb. 22, 2023

The Partnership for Food Safety Education is hosting a conference on "The Future Of Food Safety: Everyone Has A Seat At The Table", from March 1-3, 2023. 

The 2023 Consumer Food Safety Education Conference (CFSEC) will bring answers and clarity to questions like this and more. While the science behind safe food handling and hand hygiene guidance hasn’t changed, the way people are sourcing their food, experiencing their food and receiving information is changing. CFSEC 2023 will equip health and food safety educators from all sectors to be prepared for the future of food safety education and orient educators to national goals such HealthyPeople 2030 and the Core Element 4.3 of the New Era of Smarter Food Safety.

The Future of Food Safety

On March 1, 2023, Dr. Nicole Arnold of The Ohio State University Extension will be hosting the pre-conference workshop on "Don’t Eat the Pseudoscience: Navigating Misinformation and Disinformation on Social Media Platforms' from 2 to 5 p.m. EST. Participants will discuss the various types of misinformation and disinformation, review case studies involving misinformation about food safety topics, and practice responding to inaccurate or misleading information. Register for the workshop
