Healthy Monday- Food safety during holiday season

Mondays are a great day to renew Family Health vows. Every Monday, you will find some healthy tip to help your family start the week off on a Healthy Note!

Stomach problems are no fun for kids, so plan to keep foods safe during holiday season to avoid food-borne illnesses. Cold foods should be kept below 40 degrees until served. Hot foods should be kept above 140 degrees until served. Bacteria multiply quickly when food is in the "danger zone" of 40-140 degrees Fahrenheit.

With holiday parties, food can be left sitting out too long, so teach your child to avoid eating anything that's been sitting out for more than two hours.More Healthy Monday tips!
