	Date Received in OIRA: 07/02/2015
Terms of Clearance: Approved with the understanding that, if FSIS learns that revisions to the current Safe Handling Instructions (SHI) are warranted, the Agency will develop alternative formats for a revised SHI based on consumers’ requirements for potential revisions to the SHI as identified in the initial focus groups). The Agency would then conduct additional consumer research (e.g., focus groups or an experimental study) to test the alternative versions and to determine a format for the revised label that would be most effective at encouraging consumers to follow recommended safe handling practices for raw and partially cooked meat and poultry products.

Abstract: FSIS, in partnership with the Ad Council, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Center for Disease Control, has developed a national public service advertising campaign to educate the public about the importance of safe food handling and how to reduce the risks associated with foodborne illness. The Ad Council and FSIS are seeking approval of an information collection to help measure the impact of the campaign. The collection will take the form of a survey among members of the target audience, parents and guardians, age 20-45, who are caregivers to children under the age of 12 and cook meals at home at least four times per week. The survey will gauge awareness of the advertising, attitudes regarding safe food preparation, and self-reported prevention behaviors.
