Know Food Safety

Perishable food should not be kept at room temperature for longer than 2 hours.
Cracked eggs should be discarded because bacteria and mold can penetrate.
Raw meat, poultry, and seafood should be stored on the bottom shelf of the fridge, so juices won't drip onto other foods.

Think about food safety from the moment you select food and put it in your grocery cart.
Canned goods should be free of dents, cracks or bulging lids.
Make sure foods are kept cold between the store and your final destination - your refrigerator.
When grocery shopping, be aware of the temperature outside and adjust your trip from the grocery store to home or other places accordingly. In hot climates, keep a large cooler in your vehicle and load perishables in it for the drive home.
Purchase meat and poultry products last and keep packages of raw meat and poultry separate from other foods. It is wise to use plastic bags to enclose individual packages of raw meat and poultry.
