September is Food Safety Month
We are joining with the non-profit Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) to introduce "Food Safety Mythbusters" to consumers. Click on each myth to learn how to reduce your risk of foodborne illness:
- Myth: Leftovers are safe to eat until they smell bad.
- Myth: I use bleach and water to sanitize my countertops and the more bleach I use the more bacteria I kill.
- Myth: I don't need to wash my produce if I am going to peel it.
- Myth: The stand time recommended for microwaveable foods is optional, it's just so you don't burn yourself.
