Food Safety Tips


So what’s a consumer supposed to do to avoid contaminating our food?  The Minnesota Department of Health gives these good tips about separating food during shopping:  “Separate raw meat, poultry and seafood from other foods in your grocery-shopping cart.  Place these foods in plastic bags to prevent their juices from dripping onto other foods.  It is also best to separate these foods from other foods at check out and in your grocery bags.”  This information can be found at http://www.health.state.mn.us/foodsafety/clean/xcontamination.ht

If we like using the reusable grocery sacks, we can continue with this practice.  Suggestions from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics staff tomorrow.
