Hey Kids,

Food safety is important for you and your family. That's why you should always remember to Be Food Safe! It is easy and fun to do if you follow these four simple steps.

• Clean. Wash hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds before and after handling food.
• Separate. Keep raw meat and poultry apart from foods that won't be cooked.
• Cook. Use a food thermometer — you can't tell food is cooked safely by how it looks.
• Chill. Chill leftovers and takeout foods within 2 hours and keep the fridge at 40 °F or below.

USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) developed this activity booklet to help you learn what you need to do to Be Food Safe! Remember, fighting foodborne illness is important for you and your family, so Be Food Safe each and every day.
