(UPBEAT MUSIC UNDER)

CHORUS: Clean! Separate! Cook! Chill!

ANNOUNCER: Do you know how to keep food safe at home? The easy lessons of "Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill" will help you protect your family and be food safe! Let's talk about how to keep it clean.

First — wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water before and after handling food. Clean hands are one of the best ways to protect your family.

Then — run your cutting boards and utensils through the dishwasher or wash them in hot, soapy water each and every time you use them to prevent bacteria from spreading.

And — always keep your countertops clean by washing them — again with hot soapy water — after preparing food.
Food safety risks at home are common. The USDA is your partner in being food safe.

CHORUS: Clean! Separate! Cook! Chill!

ANNOUNCER: For more information on all four food safety lessons, visit befoodsafe.gov or call 1-888-MPHotline.
