Food Safety is important to remember when making a meal for yourself and for others. Examples of doing basic food safety includes washing your hands and keeping raw items from cooked items.

It is also important to seek medical care if you think that you have food poisoning, also known as a foodborne illness.

Learn more information about the ways that NET Health is ready to prevent illness, promote health, and protect your community by viewing this recent interview with Ginger Points, Director of our Environmental Health Department.
