Food Safety Facts – Did you know?
- Poor personal hygiene, such as improper handwashing or glove use, working while sick, and having uncovered cuts or sores, is the leading cause of foodborne illness.
- One of the biggest factors in foodborne illness outbreaks is time-temperature abuse. The temperature danger zone is between 41-135ᵒF. Microorganisms grow fastest at temperatures between 70-125ᵒF.
- Keeping your site clean and sanitary will help prevent food from becoming contaminated. It will also keep pests from finding food and shelter at your site.
