So, you’re a student living off dorm food, you don’t think food safety applies to you….WRONG!
- Wash those hands!
- Walking into the cafeteria you can help keep everyone healthy whether you’re just grabbing a sandwich, you still may be adding condiments and sharing germs.
- Keep it cold!
- Taking some food to-go from Stevenson? Eat it within 2 hours to stop it from spoiling. Otherwise find a fridge and use it. What needs refrigerated? Salads, sandwiches, hot leftovers, dairy products….just to name a few.
- Microwave rules.
- Using a community microwave? Keep it clean. Cover food containers when microwaving and if it splatters, wipe it up!
Pack your bookbag with some essentials like hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and an insulated lunch bag with a freezer pack.
