FOOD SAFETY AT HOME

Avoiding foodborne illness begins in the home. Learn the four key ways of keeping you and your family free from food poisoning—by cleaning, keeping raw foods separate, cooking food thoroughly, and chilling it properly—when you read the free Food Safety at Home fact sheet from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Women’s Health. Find out the less obvious spots in your kitchen where germs may lurk, like your cutting board and cloth towels. Be sure you’re doing all you can to keep your cooking areas sanitary and safe with Food Safety at Home. For your free copy, send your name and address to the Federal Citizen Information Center, Dept. 616T, Pueblo, CO 81009. Or call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO, that’s 1 (888) 878-3256, and ask for Item 616T. And visit www.pueblo.gsa.gov to read or print this and hundreds of other FCIC publications for free.
