Summer will officially be here with the Memorial Day Weekend.  Here are a few food safety posts to help keep you and your family safe and healthy this summer.

GRILLING SEASON - Rates of foodborne illness tend to increase during the summer months because germs grow faster in warmer, more humid weather. People also cook and eat outside more, making shortcuts to food safety tempting because they are away from the convenience of soap and running water at the kitchen sink.  Follow these easy tips to make your summer meals safe: https://go.unl.edu/barbecue #UNLFoodSafety 

GRILLING MARINADES - Picnic and barbecue season offers lots of opportunities for outdoor fun with family and friends.  To protect yourself, your family, and friends from foodborne illness during warm-weather months, safe food handling when eating outdoors is critical. Read on for simple food safety guidelines for transporting your food to the picnic site and preparing and serving it safely once you’ve arrived.  https://go.unl.edu/eating-outdoor  #UNLFoodSafety 

PICNIC SAFETY - Keep your food safe: from the refrigerator/freezer — all the way to the picnic table.  For more information on keeping your family healthy: https://go.unl.edu/food-in-hot-weather  #UNLFoodSafety
