The Ohio Department of Agriculture advises consumers to kick the summer off right this Memorial Day Weekend by keeping some basic food safety tips in mind. Always Wash Your Hands.
Dirty hands spread bacteria.
Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before and after handling raw meat. Keep Raw and Cooked Foods Separate. When taking food off the grill, don't put the cooked items on the same platter which held the raw meat. Keep Hot Foods Hot. After cooking your hamburgers, hot dogs, pork chops or chicken, keep it hot until served.
