It is that time of the year and with the holidays comes festive eating. Therefore, before you are shopping for all the goodies, here are some things you will need to remember.
Food safety is important year around, but during the holidays it becomes increasingly important.
That is mainly due to preparation of larger meals, improper storage of foods at room temperature and overloading the refrigerators. Follow these simple guidelines to have a happy holiday season. Plan your meals. Choose foods that can be served safely under planned activities. Make sure that you have chafing dishes, warming trays or other equipment to keep hot foods at 140 F or higher.
