Food Safety After a Hurricane

The hurricane is over and now it is time to clean up.  Food safety should be top of mind especially if you are working with small children.  Here are some tips from UGA Extension to help you know what to do in regard to your food and keeping it safe.  I am really not happy about wasting food, but with my power out for four days and no ice available in our areas, then discarding food became a priority. Of course, I carefully reviewed all the food safety guidelines, prepared and saved what I could, but most was discarded.  It was a learning experience for me and thought I would share in case you find yourself in a similar situation.

If you did not go through a hurricane or storm recently, this is great information to help prepare you for any future disasters.  It is always best to be prepared and “If in doubt, throw it out.”
