If you have questions about how long food lasts and how to safely prepare it, you are not alone. Most Americans have been misinformed about proper food safety practices (including myself). As college students, we are away from home, where mom may have done all the cooking and taken care of the safety of our foods.
Well, now it's our responsibility to learn and food safety and create habits that are going to keep us healthy without our parents' supervision. As always, there are great websites that have all the information you will need to keep your food safe to eat. FightBac is a great and easy to use website with all kinds of information, and also resources to teach kids food safety. FoodSafety.gov is the parent site for FightBac and is easy to use. So remember to "FightBac" when you're preparing food!
