In order to keep your cookout or picnic healthy, keep the following in mind:
-Everyone that is handling food should thoroughly wash their hands before doing so.
-If preparing foods in advance, keep it to one day unless the food is frozen
-Keep cut melons and/or mayonnaised-based foods refrigerated on ice
-Keep hot foods hot; don't allow them to cool to room temperature
-Throw away any thing that was sitting out for more than an hour
For additional tips, check out the North Carolina Cooperative Extension site and have a safe Labor Day!
