HOW FOOD BECOMES UNSAFE

PURCHASING FOOD FROM UNSAFE SOURCES


FAILING TO COOK FOOD ADEQUATELY
HOLDING FOOD AT INCORRECT TEMPERATURES
USING CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT
CROSS-CONTAMINATION
PRACTICING POOR PERSONAL HYGIENE

FOOD DATES
• SELL BY THIS ONLY REFERS TO THE PURCHASE DATE, IF KEPT AT
PROPER STORAGE TEMPERATURES, IT SHOULD BE SAFE TO EAT FOR A
REASONABLE LENGTH OF TIME

• BEST IF USED BY THIS IS FOR QUALITY OR TASTE, NOT A SAFETY DATE

• USE BY THIS IS THE LAST RECOMMENDED DATE FOR USE. IT IS BASED


ON PROPER HANDLING AND STORAGE UP UNTIL THAT DATE

• SAFETY AFTER DATE EXPIRES  COOKING AND/OR FREEZING AN ITEM


BY THE USE BY DATE CAN EXTEND THE EXPIRATION DATE EXPIRATION
