🍽️ Food Safety Week is here!

Every year, millions of people experience foodborne illness, but many cases can be prevented by following a few simple food safety practices.

Remember the four key steps to food safety:
🧼 Clean – Wash hands, surfaces, and produce regularly.
🥩 Separate – Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs away from ready-to-eat foods.
🌡️ Cook – Use a food thermometer to ensure foods reach a safe internal temperature.
❄️ Chill – Refrigerate perishable foods promptly.

Whether you're preparing meals at home, operating a food establishment, or enjoying community events this summer, food safety plays an important role in protecting the health of our families and communities.

Join Central Nevada Health District in recognizing Food Safety Week and helping keep food safe for everyone!
