Pathogens are on your Path, Producer through Consumer- Partners to a Safe Food Supply Abstract: This youth curriculum and materials were adapted for bilingual and low literacy youth from an existing program,"Producer through Consumer-Partners to a Safe Food Supply". Lesson 1 uses the Mystery of the Poisoned Panther Picnic to focus on causes of foodborne illness and how to prevent it. Lesson 2 includes information on microorganisms using a song with an activity sheet. The video is available in English and Spanish. Each lesson includes objectives, a list of materials needed, preparations for teaching, pretest information, and activity outlines. Materials for low literacy utilize a cartoon-style pre and post test evaluation instrument, a "jingle" in rap style, a worksheet/placemat with illustrations.
