USDA FOOD SAFETY DISCOVERY ZONE

ARCHITECTURAL & ACOUSTIC CONSIDERATIONS

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched the USDA

Food Safety Discovery Zone, a 40-foot long interactive, hands-on

food safety learning experience bringing food safety information to

towns and cities throughout the nation. This exciting new

educational center on wheels is designed to improve public food

safety awareness and behavior. The goal is to prevent foodborne

illness by emphasizing the USDA’s Be Food Safe messages:

Clean, Separate, Cook and Chill.

Live! Technologies, Inc was selected to design the interactive audio

and video systems for the exhibit. The OAP NF-331HP Ultra Low

Profile Near-Field Loudspeaker System provided the audio for

this unique mobile exhibit.

The USDA Food Safety Discovery Zone was unveiled during Public

Service Recognition Week on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

After an initial appearance in Washington, the USDA Food Safety

Discovery Zone hit the road and spends nine months a year traveling

across the United States to bring adults and children important food

safety information. Please visit FSIS’ Web site at
