Holiday Food Safety - Feasting with Family is part of many Holiday Celebrations

  • Frequent handwashing not only during food preparation, is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs and to keep your family healthy this holiday season.
  • Avoid foodborne illness by following proper food safety guidelines.
  • Keep hot objects on stoves or countertops out of reach of children; burn-related injuries are among the leading causes of unintentional injury for children 0 to 5.
