It’s important to keep food at the right temperature and stored correctly. Listen to the radio clip below to hear tips on barbecue safety this summer.
Keep the fun more fun by staying safe, worry free and healthy.
Make sure not to leave your food out in the hot weather too long, some foods can cause illness if not kept cold or hot enough. Meats, fish, dairy, poultry and related foods spoil rapidly.
Hot foods need to be kept at 135 degrees or hotter and cold foods at 41 degrees or cooler. Wash your hands often to avoid contaminated food.
When you get ready to store your leftovers, remember to cool your hot foods to 41 degrees before closing the container or wrapping them up. Use shallow pans to help cooling.
