Life moves fast, but foodborne illness can really slow you down.

Fortunately, following the four steps to food safety can be quick and easy!

Some food safe habits can take just a few seconds.

Like washing your hands

with soap and water for at least 20 seconds

before touching food,

and washing fruits and vegetables before you eat them.

And, it only takes a moment

to separate raw meat from produce that won't be cooked.

Testing the temperature of

cooked foods with a food thermometer before serving...

…can help keep you and your friends safe and healthy!

And don't forget!

Cold foods and leftovers should be refrigerated

within two hours of cooking or shopping.

Remember to take a few seconds for food safety, because food poisoning can cause

hours of stomachaches, nausea, diarrhea, and making you feel miserable.

And who has time for that?
