Our deepest condolences to the Omen family on the loss of their beloved son, Kallen.

Kallen worked with the FDPIR program during the summers and college breaks and was always hardworking, respectful, and kind to others. He loved his family, enjoyed music and working out, and had dreams of becoming an engineer.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

With the graduations and summer bbq's coming up I decided to do macaroni salad for food sampling today!

Tip: Nutrition & Food Safety for Summer Salads

Summer salads are fresh, healthy, and perfect for warm weather, but they can also spoil quickly if not handled safely. Keeping foods cold and clean helps prevent foodborne illness.
