If your idea of Halloween fun is hosting at home, keep food safety on your guest list. Serve pasteurized cider instead of unpasteurized, skip tasting raw cookie dough or batter and remember that perishable treats shouldn’t sit out for more than two hours. Keep foods chilled until it’s time to serve and give apples (and other produce) a good rinse before you bob.

A little caution keeps your party fun and your guests healthy.

đŸ˜± Don’t let food labels leave you screaming. “Best By,” “Sell By” and “Use By” dates are about quality, not safety (except for infant formula, where “Use By” really is a cutoff). Most foods are still safe past those dates if stored and handled properly, until they show signs of spoilage like off smells, flavors or textures. Knowing the difference keeps you safe and cuts down on food waste. Learn more about the www.jeffco.us/FoodSafety
