Hosting a party for the big game? Keep food safety in your playbook. If food will be sitting out for more than two hours:
🏈 Keep cold foods at 40°F or below by placing dishes in ice or using chilled serving trays.
🏈 Keep hot foods at 140°F or above with a preheated oven, warming trays, chafing dishes, or slow cookers.

Not using hot or cold holding equipment during the game? Serve one set of food during the first half and a fresh set during the second half so nothing stays out longer than two hours.

Giving each person their own storage space can help prevent a medicine mix-up.

A few simple changes in how you store medicines can make a big difference in keeping everyone safe at home. If you have questions or think you may have taken the wrong medication, call 1‑800‑222‑1222 for fast, free expert help any time of day.
