Food Safety
As soon as food is purchased, it becomes the consumer’s responsibility to safely handle and prepare the food so that everyone who eats it continues to be protected. Though there are seemingly endless varieties of foods, preparation practices, eating customs, traditions, and habits, proper food safety practices can be effectively applied in any kitchen. Protect yourself and your family from a potential food-borne illness.
