Headed to a Memorial Day picnic or cookout? 🇺🇸

Keep the weekend fun by making food safety part of the plan. From prep to cleanup, focus on keeping foods at safe temperatures, preventing cross-contamination, and practicing good hygiene.

Keep cold foods at 40°F or below, hot foods at 140°F or above, and don’t leave food out for more than two hours (or one hour if it’s 90°F+).

Use separate utensils for raw and cooked foods, and always wash your hands.

Visit the Extension website and ask Tilva your food safety questions before the holiday weekend: ai.extension.psu.edu

Happy Pennsylvania!

PA is home to diverse native plants, trees, insects, fish, birds, and mammals that originated thousands of years ago and thrive in mutual dependence. This native ecosystem provides us with natural resources that benefit our lives by enabling agricultural food production, recreation, fisheries, timber, and more.

By planting native species in our gardens and yards, we create vital food and shelter for native wildlife and pollinators critical to our food supply.
