Food Service Safety Month

Food Service Safety Month is observed in December and was established to remind everyone, from employees in the food service industry to people at home, that food safety is of great importance.

Your party gathering is over and you have lots of food leftover. There are some important rules about leftovers that you need to follow to ensure food safety.
Leftovers can be kept for only 2-3 days in the refrigerator. After that, the risk of foodborne illness increases. If you don’t think you’ll be able to them within four days, freeze them immediately.

Avoid high-risk foods, such as raw or undercooked eggs, unpasteurized dairy products, raw fish or shellfish, and undercooked meat and poultry.

National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day

National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day is on November 15th – and was created to encourage people to clean out their refrigerator in advance of the upcoming holidays to make room for all of the leftovers.

Food Safety Business Perception

Perception of a food establishment’s cleanliness and its’ employees is just as important as the practice of sound food safety principles. Research has also shown that customers will not return to a restaurant if their mere perception is that the food is unsafe.
