Hey everybody I'm like a Chrisman on with the Kansas City health barn, you've tuned in to the weekly report. You know the holidays are my favorite time of year, spend with friends, family and even co-workers at office parties like here at City, Hall, oh hey, mayor, Rossi, bow, tie, you've got there and good parties call for good food, but before you start making your favorite dishes I have some food safety tips. That'll help keep you safe this holiday season? Oh hey, Susie, how's it going here's some punch, love that sweater. By the way.

A

Apparently, we need some sweater safety tips too.

No one wants a cold or the flu during the holidays, so wash your hands frequently. Hand-Washing is one of the best ways to protect you and your family and keep them healthy, wash your hands, especially before, during and after preparing food before eating food and after taking out the garbage keeping food prep areas. Clean is also very important germs that cause food poisoning can survive in many places and be spread around your kitchen, washing utensils, cutting boards and countertops with hot soapy water. You can also use a disinfectant spray.

A

Raw meat, poultry seafood and eggs can spread germs to already prepared foods unless you keep them separated, remember to separate, don't contaminate when grocery shopping keep raw meat, poultry seafood and their juices away from other foods designate one cutting board for raw meat, poultry and seafood, and another for fruits and vegetables.

A

Food is safely cooked when the internal temperature gets high enough to kill germs. That can make you sick. The only way to tell if food is safely cooked is to use a food thermometer. You can't tell a food is safely cooked by checking its color and texture go to foodsafety.gov for a handy guide on food cooking temperatures.

A

Bacteria can multiply rapidly. If you leave your food out, so never leave perishable food out for more than two hours. So when you're watching the big game keep refreshing your serving bowls instead of leaving food out for several hours at a time and don't freeze or reheat them multiple times to keep bacteria from growing.

A

Very cool this is perfect. Is this like a chuckle.

B

Burpee for Taco Tuesday. Thank you so much. This is crazy.

A

White elephant gift exchanges are a whole lot of fun, but the rege, if ting of bacteria through a chicken salad gone bad, is a gift that nobody wants. The bathroom is no place for anyone to experience the Yuletide.
