July is National Picnic Month

Before you pack your picnic basket and head out to your favorite park, remember a few safety tips:

  • Pack food in ice or in a well insulated cooler.

  • Marinate food in the refrigerator. Do not reuse marinade used on raw meats.

  • Never leave food outdoors in hot weather. Refrigerate leftovers promptly.

  • Use separate plates or serving dishes for cooked and raw foods.

  • Never partially grill meat and then finish cooking later.

  • Always cook foods to the right temperature. Check it with a meat thermometer - cook hamburger to at least 160 degrees, and chicken breast to 170 degrees.

  • Wash your hands after handling raw meats, pets, or using bathroom facilities. Pack clean, wet, disposable washcloths or moist towelettes and paper towels for cleaning hands and surfaces.

Remember! Contaminated food will not always taste or smell bad, but could be loaded with disease-causing organisms. Following these suggestions will help you to…..Keep Your Picnic Safe!
