Public Health Promotes Food Safety

Cooking outdoors used to be a summer-only activity, but today, more than half of Americans report they are cooking outdoors year round.  With the Labor Day weekend coming up, the importance of safe food handling needs to be stressed.

Unsafe handling of food products can cause serious illness, including E.Coli, salmonella, and related health issues.  That’s why it’s important that every cook knows how to grill safely to avoid getting sick or having other people get sick.
