Be Food Safe!

Be Safe, Not Sorry

How food is purchased, stored and prepared is important to your health. Most foodborne diseases are infections caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses and parasites.  
 
The Center for Disease Control estimates that each year, 48 million people get sick from a foodborne illness; 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die.
 
People who are most at risk are pregnant women, young children, older adults and those with weakened immune systems as a result of diabetes, kidney or liver disease or chemotherapy/radiation treatments.
 
Look at these helpful charts created by the Food and Drug Administration. Print them out and post them on your refrigerator!
