Traveling this summer? Keep your medicines safe with these tips:
1. Keep medicines in their original containers. The label includes the name, dose, and directions — all important when you’re away from home.

2. Don’t combine different medicines in one container. It might save space, but it increases the chance of a mix‑up.

3. Pack extra doses. Travel delays happen, so bring more than you think you’ll need.

4. Protect kids on the trip. Store medicines in child‑resistant containers and keep bags with medicine up and away from little hands.

If a medicine mix‑up happens on the road, 📞 Poison Help: 1‑800‑222‑1222 for fast, expert guidance — anytime.

Keeping food safe starts with the “2‑hour rule.”
Don’t let cooked dishes, raw ingredients, or cut fruits and veggies sit at room temperature for more than two hours — bacteria grows fast when food hangs out in the danger zone. If it’s hotter than 90°F, that window drops to just one hour.

Keep hot foods hot. Keep cold foods cold. And get leftovers into the fridge or freezer promptly to prevent foodborne illness.

When grilling, use a food thermometer to be sure your food reaches a safe internal temperature. Place the thermometer in the thickest part of the meat and check in a few spots to ensure it’s cooked evenly.

☑️ Beef, veal & lamb (steaks/roasts): 145°F for medium rare, 160°F for medium
☑️ Ground pork & ground beef: 160°F
☑️ Poultry: at least 165°F
☑️ Fin fish: 145°F or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily

Always marinate food in the refrigerator—never on the counter or outdoors. Don’t reuse marinade from raw meat or poultry on cooked food. If you want to use it as a sauce, boil it first or set aside a portion of unused marinade.
