As the temperature rises and summer nears, the University of Georgia (UGA) Extension is promoting food safety tips for grilling enthusiasts. In a recent announcement, UGA Extension shared ten important tips for safe outdoor cooking to help prevent foodborne illnesses. They emphasize the importance of planning ahead for both the menu and food safety supplies. The first three tips are: Plan Ahead: Think carefully about your menu and gather the necessary food safety supplies. Freshness First: Buy fresh ingredients and keep raw meat and poultry separate from other items while shopping. Containment is Key: Store raw meat or poultry in a container or on a plate in the refrigerator to avoid contamination.
