⚽ Planning a World Cup watch party? Keep your food safety game strong from kickoff to the final whistle.

🚩Avoid a food safety red card with these safe food handling tips:
🧼 Wash hands before handling food and clean surfaces and utensils before prepping snacks.
🌡️ Keep hot foods hot (60°C / 140°F or higher) and cold foods cold (4°C / 40°F or lower). If food sits out for 2 hours or more, it’s time to toss it.
🥩 Avoid cross contamination by using separate plates and utensils for raw and cooked foods. Don’t reuse marinades, and keep allergy-friendly foods separate from other dishes.
🤒 Feeling sick? Sit this one out and avoid preparing food for others. Keep food covered and use serving utensils instead of hands.

Because safe food = happy fans. 🏆⚽

Swipe through for quick food safety tips to help your guests enjoy the match without the worry.

Free naloxone kits are available at participating pharmacies, public health offices, and community distribution sites.

For people who prefer a more discreet option, our naloxone request card can be shown on a phone or presented as a printed card when requesting naloxone.

A naloxone request card is not required to access naloxone. It is simply another tool that can help people access naloxone while ensuring their privacy.
