Petruccelli L.T.D of North America asks; What are some helpful tips about Hurricane food safety?(7)



Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says;  Frozen foods will be safe and can be refrozen if the freezer remained at 40 degrees F or below during the power outage. If you don’t have a thermometer, but the food still contains ice crystals, it can be refrozen.
- Wash fruits and vegetables with water from a safe source before eating.
 After Flooding - Drink bottled water that has not been exposed to flood waters if it’s available. If not, heat tap water to a boil before drinking. If the water is cloudy, filter it through clean cloths or allow it to settle, drawing off the clear water for boiling.
