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.
