In an effort to help protect Americans from food borne illness during the Thanksgiving season, the Ad Council, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in partnership with Food Network Star’s Martie Duncan, are helping to dispel many of the common myths surrounding the preparation and serving of the holiday turkey meal.  Food poisoning, also called foodborne illness, is a serious public health threat in the U.S. The CDC estimates that approximately 1 in 6 Americans (48 million people) suffer from foodborne illness each year, resulting in roughly 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. TV personality and home entertaining expert Martie Duncan joins the Food Safe Families campaign to offer meal preparation tips and demonstrate safe food practices. The campaign was created pro bono by ad agency JWT New York, the  campaign includes English and Spanish-language television, radio, print, and Web advertising, as well as English-language outdoor PSAs and an integrated social media program.
