CLEAN: Wash hands, counters, and your table often and carefully.
Bacteria that make you sick are invisible. Yet they can spread everywhere in your kitchen, then to the food your family eats. Involve your child with food safety at home:
- Make proper hand washing a family habit: before and after handling food, and after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and handling pets.
- Wash kitchen utensils and surfaces with hot, soapy water. Let your child help.
- Wash cutting boards and sponges in hot, soapy water, each time they’re used.
- Clean with paper towels; toss them when you’re done. Wash cloth towels often in the hot cycle of your washing machine. Make cleaning fun with colorful towels.
