🍲 Reheating Leftovers Safely Matters! 🍲
Leftovers can be a quick and delicious meal—but only if they’re reheated properly. Improper reheating can allow harmful bacteria to survive and cause foodborne illness.
✅ Food Safety Tips for Reheating:
• Reheat leftovers to an internal temperature of 165°F
• Use a food thermometer to be sure
• Stir food halfway through microwaving to eliminate cold spots
• Bring soups, sauces, and gravies to a rolling boil
• Only reheat leftovers once
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking
When in doubt, throw it out!
Keeping your family safe starts in your kitchen. 🍽️

🍎 National Food Safety Prevention Day 🍴
Today we’re recognizing National Food Safety Prevention Day, a
reminder that safe food handling protects not only you, but our
entire Brown County community.
Every year, millions of people get sick from foodborne illnesses, but
most cases are preventable with simple, everyday habits:
🔹 Clean: Wash hands, surfaces, and utensils often
🔹Separate: Keep raw meat away from ready-to-eat foods
🔹Cook: Use a thermometer to ensure foods cook to safe
temperatures
🔹 Chill: Refrigerate leftovers promptly to prevent bacteria growth
Taking a few extra steps in the kitchen can make a big difference in
keeping your family healthy and safe.
If you ever have questions about food safety or need guidance, the
Brown County Health Department is here to help:
