Food Safety Resources for Children Aged 5 and Under

Promote food safety to parents and caregivers of children aged 5 and under with the help of these resources: a printable public service announcement and a poster. There is also a fact sheet with safety tips and foods to avoid. All these resources direct people to a free safe food handling guide on the Healthy Canadians website.

Public Service Announcement

Do you have children aged 5 & under in your care? They are at greater risk of food poisoning and related complications.

QUICK TIP
Give them only pasteurized fruit juice and cider.

A young child's body is less able to fight off harmful bacteria. This puts children at greater risk of food poisoning and developing serious complications.
