What are some food safety preparation tips?
· Wash all produce just before using. · Peel and discard outer leaves or rinds. · Scrub hearty vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, if you want to eat the fiber- and nutrient-rich skin. · Clean surfaces (including cutting boards), utensils, and hands. · Keep refrigerators clean and cold. · Cover/refrigerate produce you have cut. · Don’t store raw meats above uncovered fresh produce. · Keep prepared fruit salads and other cut produce items in the refrigerator until just before serving.
