At some point throughout the summer, you may spend time outside with family and friends at a picnic or backyard barbecue. If you aren’t careful about handling foods and beverages during these cookouts, you’re putting yourself and others at risk for potential food-related illnesses.
Prevent food poisoning at picnics and barbecues with these simple tips:
- Clean: Wash cooking equipment, dishes and utensils between uses.
