Assignment 1
This week’s assignment is a written paper, formatted according to APA, 7th
edition format. Please be sure to use a correctly formatted title page
including headers, and an APA formatted reference page. A minimum of 4 valid
resources are required and in-text citations are required to show where and
how you have used each resource to support your conclusions.
The purpose of this paper is to examine contemporary issues related to food
safety, including tampering, bioterrorism, and different food safety
standards across the globe, and identifying food safety barriers that can
cause issues with food safety in a global, interconnected environment.
I suggest that you divide your papers into sections so that you cover the
main topics of: tampering, bioterrorism, differing food safety standards,
and finish up by explaining how those issues can cause problems with food
safety in a global environment. Basically, you will be writing a paragraph
or two on each issue and then finishing up with a few paragraphs that tie
them all together and show how those issues impact food safety globally.
Make sure that you include an introduction to the paper as well as a
conclusion. Be sure that you are writing from a third person perspective and
using sources to back up what you are saying. Remember, in an academic
paper, just because you say so…that does not make it true. You need to
support your conclusions with a valid resource.
Below are some very relevant and informational resources to help you with
writing an academic paper. Please review them and let your instructor know
if you have any questions. These are all located in the writing center of
the APUS Library, so you will need to be logged into your student account to
access them.
