September is National Food Safety Education Month

September is Food Safety Education Month! It’s a great time to focus on key illness prevention steps, such as avoiding cross-contamination in your kitchen. Raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs can spread germs to ready-to-eat foods, like salads or food that is already cooked. Always follow four simple steps to prevent food poisoning: Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill.

At Open Arms, we are thankful for our talented team of chefs and bakers for sharing their food safety knowledge with the amazing volunteers who prepare #medicallytailoredmeals for our clients. And for our clients with compromised immune systems, food safety is critical! Go HERE for more information and tips during Food Safety Education Month!
