Food Safety - National Food Safety and Education Month
Food safety is extra important if you're pregnant or feeding young children. 🤰Foodborne illness isn’t just about a few days of fever or an upset stomach—it can cause serious, long-term health problems or even be life-threatening. But luckily, it doesn’t have to be scary or complicated to practice food safety at home!
Learn how to keep your family safe by storing, cooking, and serving food the right way! 💙 https://wicworks.fns.usda.gov/resources/food-safety-children-and-pregnant-and-breastfeeding-women

Whole Grain Month
