Nutrition & Food Safety

The University of Tennessee Extension provides nutrition and food safety education to individuals and families in Tennessee. Education is provided by faculty in county Extension offices throughout the state.

This web site was developed as a source of reliable nutrition and food safety information. It also provides description of education programs conducted in Tennessee and partnerships with other agencies and organizations.

Because UT Extension is in the business of education, no commercial dietary products, such as supplements, are endorsed or sold. Information is unbiased and based on the best available research and practices.

If you are interested in enrolling in a graduate or undergraduate degree program in nutrition, go to the Department of Nutrition, College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences.

If you need information about a diet for a medical condition, consult a Registered Dietitian or your health-care provider.
