Easter Food Safety Risks

Firstly Happy Easter to everyone and I hope that all of you have a good break with the family.

I came across this Easter safety poster through BITES

Food Safety Infosheet Highlights:
– Hand washing after handling animals, even cute ones, reduces risk of illness.  Children can get sick by touching birds and then putting their hands directly in their mouths or touching food.
– Eggs can carry Salmonella and need to be cooked to 145°F for 15 seconds to reduce risk, or until the yolk sets.
– Raw shell eggs should be stored in the refrigerator held at  or below 45°F.
– Use pasteurized eggs as a replacement in raw egg dishes to reduce risks.
