Kelaguen is a unique and delicious CHamoru dish, but unfortunately, it is identified by GPHSS as one of leading vehicles causing foodborne illness on Guam. The cases of foodborne illness associated with kelaguen are estimated to be over 1,000 per year. Chicken, fish, and shrimp kelaguen each accounted for about 30% of outbreaks and cases of kelaguen foodborne illnesses. Chicken kelaguen results in the number of foodborne illness about 4-6 times higher than that from shrimp and fish kelaguen. About 83 percent of kelaguen foodborne illness is from private homes. 

This special food safety education training is for general consumers, food workers, and food safety educator. It focuses on pathogen control and recommendations for using lemon in kelaguen preparation.
