  8. In-Text Citation– Should look like This • For example: • Foodborne illness should be prevented before the illness occurs, rather than finding the illness first and working backwards to fix the problem of food contamination. In his article “The Food Safety Bill Finally Passes, But It’s Just the First Step” Bryan Walsh states, “An unfunded mandate won’t keep Americans safe from foodborne illness.” Walsh comments on how health maintenance on specific food products will not prevent those food products from contamination. The whole idea for passing the bill was to create a prevention based food safety system to catch contaminated food products before they are sent out to stores, restaurants, and other places where consumers buy food to ingest. The fact that the bill still cannot keep Americans safe from foodborne illness proves that the bill is irrelevant and will not move food safety systems into prevention based systems, because the bill does not insure that the FDA will obtain the ability and supplies that it needs to help prevent foodborne illnesses within processed food. Introduced the quote No explicit page number

  9. Last Page– Works Cited • The Works Cited page consists of all the sources you pulled quotations or paraphrases from to use as textual evidence in your paper. • The way the citation is set up is based on the type of document you pulled textual evidence from (website, book, article, encyclopedia, etc.) • The works cited page stays the SAME font and type of text as the whole paper (12 pt Times New Roman).
