Warmer temperatures and longer days kick off grilling season! Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer. ☀️

Did you know? Food poisoning peaks in the summer months when warmer temperatures cause foodborne germs to flourish.

Don't let harmful germs put a damper on your Memorial Day cookout! Use a food thermometer to make sure your chicken has reached 165 °F before serving. 🍗
