EatSmartBC was developed by the
BC FOODSAFE program, in cooperation with the BC Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport and the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Lands to provide easy access
to important information about food safety and healthy eating in order to reduce
the risk of foodborne illness and improve the health of British Columbians.
