September is National Food Safety Education Month!
Each week we're focusing on a core food safety practice. This week is CLEAN.
When cooking or preparing food, it's important to always your hands and surfaces often. Here's more important tips:
Germs that cause food poisoning can survive in many places and spread around your kitchen.
Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm or cold water before, during, and after preparing food and before eating.
Always wash hands after handling uncooked meat, chicken and other poultry, seafood, flour, or eggs.
Wash your utensils, cutting boards, and countertops with hot, soapy water after preparing each food item.
Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables under running water.
