More tips for food safety:
- If a food's date says "best by" on it, it will still be safe for consumption after that date. Look up how long that specific food lasts past its best by date.
- If a food says "expires *date*" then you should not consume that food past that date.
- Wash all produce that you get thoroughly before consumption.
- If any products show evidence of mold, pest or bug interference, or tampering, immediately discard the product.
- Do not let raw food, especially raw meat, have contact with your cooked or ready to eat food.
- Keep your food at safe temperatures. If it must be cold, put it in the refrigerator or freezer immediately. If it must be warm, keep it at a hot temperature until consumption.
- Wash your hands as often as possible.
