Hurricane Florence is likely to cause major flooding in many areas. After a flood: – DO NOT EAT food that may have touched flood water. – DISCARD food not in waterproof containers. – DISCARD damaged cans. – DISCARD cardboard juice, milk & baby formula. #Florence

Food Safety Tip: Leftovers are only safe for 4 days in the fridge. After that they may begin to spoil. If you don’t plan to use your leftovers soon, freeze them! They are best 2-3 months in the freezer.

Washing, rinsing and/or marinating meat or poultry in saltwater, lemon juice or vinegar will not destroy bacteria! Only cooking to a proper internal temperature will kill harmful bacteria. Always use your food thermometer to check! #FoodSafety 🌡️

Staying in groups during a #sharknado will keep you safe. So will grouping foods in the freezer if the power goes out http://t.co/uDyhpAFaEp

Food Safety Tip: Leftovers are only safe for 4 days in the fridge. After that they may begin to spoil. If you don’t plan to use your leftovers soon, freeze them! They are best 2-3 months in the freezer.

January is National Soup Month! Food safety tip: Don’t leave a large pot of soup on the counter to cool before placing in the fridge. Instead, separate into smaller containers & safely place in the fridge for immediate cooling.

#FunFact : canned foods that are in good condition are safe indefinitely, even if the date printed on them expires during storage! So, yes, a can that is 10+ years old & still in good condition is technically safe to eat. #CannedFoodMonth

Flood waters can carry harmful diseases and bacteria. Before salvaging canned food from #Flood water, make sure it's safe! Screw-caps, snap lids, pull tops & crimped tops are NOT waterproof. More tips ↓ #HurricaneLane
