In response to increasing usage of food delivery services, and as National Food Safety Education Month kicks off, the Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) has launched a new national campaign to help food delivery users ensure the safety of their delivered foods. The campaign, entitled "Prep Yourself: Food is on the Way," is the first national food safety campaign to specifically target users of food delivery services, and it seeks to encourage safe food handling at home and to educate consumers on what to consider when ordering from these types of services.

Food delivery services can include meal kits, restaurant delivery, or grocery delivery. In an April 2020 survey conducted by Statista, over one-third of both suburban and urban respondents said they used online food delivery services or restaurant apps to order food. According to the 2021 Food and Health Survey conducted by the International Food Information Council, 72 percent of Americans say the pandemic is changing the way they eat and prepare food. This study also showed that 42 percent of consumers are shopping for groceries online at least monthly.
