Keep safe around food

• Seafood, meat, egg dishes and all cooked food must be refrigerated immediately once it is cooled.

 

• ​Always reheat food thoroughly. This means to boiling point not just warmed.

 

• Never freeze food twice or reheat more than once.

 

• Keep raw meat below cooked food in the refrigerator to prevent contamination.

 

• ​​​Keep one chopping board for meat, one for vegetables and clean  thoroughly in hot soapy water.

​

• Food does not last forever. Rotate, replace or use food in the pantry. Clear unused left over food frequently from the refrigerator.
