Food Safety Tour at H-E-B Katy Market

This post is long overdue.  The team was fortunate to go on a food safety tour given by Mr. Andy at H-E-B Katy Market.  He talked about all the ways H-E-B and its employees work to keep food safe for its customers.  He talked about their temperature monitoring systems, food inspection process, and safe handling and hygiene.  It was a very informative and fun field trip.

Official Challenge Release

Today the 2011 Food Factor Challenge was released!!! This year’s game is going to be quite interesting and a bit of a math nightmare with all the small scoring point missions. And I’m sure a few of the little pieces will go missing by season’s end. 😉

Coach Damian went over the field board, missions, and scoring with the team. They have some great ideas already for attachments and game strategy.
