Your Family is First, Keep them Safe
USDA
You do everything possible to protect yourself and your family. When you are in a car, you put on the safety belts in order to avoid injuries. You teach your children to cross a street and to never open a door to strangers. Caring for your family means that you have to be careful in your kitchen. The food you serve your family can be dangerous if it is not properly handled, cooked, or refrigerated.
Adequate food handling is very simple and very similar to precautions we take every day. It is also important to keep your family healthy.
