We want you to be safe during the Holidays with some food safety tips to keep you and your family safe!

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides some holiday food safety tips. Here are a few:

• Do not rinse raw meat and poultry before cooking
• Use a food thermometer to make sure meat is cooked to a safe temperature
• Refrigerate food within two hours
• Holiday leftovers are safe for four days in the refrigerator
• Bring sauces, soups and gravies to a rolling boil when reheating
• When storing turkey, be sure to cut the leftovers in small pieces so it will chill quicker
• Wash your hands frequently when handling food
