Declare Your Independence from Foodborne Illness This Fourth of July, join the revolution against foodborne illness. Summer's rising temperatures make picnics a playground for bacteria as families prepare, cook, and eat food outside. Here are some tips to keep you safe: Pledge Allegiance to Cleanliness Wash your hands before and after you handle food: - Wet your hands with clean, running water, turn off the tap and apply soap.
- Lather your hands by rubbing them together with soap. Lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails.
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds.
- Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
- Dry your hands using a clean towel.
Don't have access to a faucet? Carry bottled water, soap, paper towels, hand sanitizer or disposable moist towelettes that contain at least 60 percent alcohol. |
