Take away messages from Edible Nutrition:

• Wash your hands
• Wash your food
• Don't cross contaminate
• Keep foods at the right temperatures
• If you doubt the food is fresh, dump it
• If you are pregnant, sick, a child, or elderly your immune system may be compromised and some of the above foods need to avoided all together (sprouts, raw seafood, cheese are just a couple)

Don't fear your food instead arm yourself with the knowledge on how to keep your food safe!
