And they do a lot of food safety training throughout the state of Iowa. Wenger says the technique is important in safely preparing meat.He says they focus on the science, seasoning, cooking and handling of the product to ensure it’s done correctly. The reports of people getting sick from food have put more of a spotlight on the I-S-U program. He says food safety trainings have really taken off in the last few years with all the news reports of problems. Wenger says the I-S-U program benefits from faculty who have lots of experience in the processing of meat. He says there’s years of research, collaboration with other universities and research programs along with the U-S-D-A and the F-D-A.
