🍎 September is National Food Safety Education Month, a helpful reminder that safe food handling is especially important for older adults.
Simple habits in the kitchen can help reduce the risk of foodborne illness:
🧼 Wash hands before preparing food
🥩 Keep raw meats separate from other foods
🌡️ Cook foods to safe internal temperatures
❄️ Refrigerate perishable foods promptly
📅 Check expiration dates and discard questionable foods
For older adults who need a little extra help at home, assistance with everyday routines, including meal preparation, can help make daily life easier. 🏡💙
