We are all conscious of keeping our food as safe as possible at home, but there are a few precautions you can do to keep your groceries safe BEFORE you get them home. Buy meat, poultry, eggs, ice cream, etc LAST and place any meat products in the plastic produce bags to keep them from contaminating the rest of your cart. Place cold items together in your cart to keep cold longer. Don’t put perishable items in the trunk of your car on hot days. And of course, put your perishable groceries away FIRST when you get home!
