A Holiday Food Safety Twitter Party

Chuck Zimmerman

Twitter PartyIf you use good common sense when handling and preparing food you probably won’t have any problems. But if you’re concerned that you don’t know what the right procedures are then you might want to join in this chat on Twitter.

Make Sure to Join Us This Wednesday!

Chefs and home cooks bring their best goodies to the table during the holidays. But no one wants a bout of food poisoning or too many Santa cookies to dampen their holiday spirit.

Food safety experts from CDC, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Registered Dietitians from the International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation, along with guest culinary enthusiasts, will host a Twitter chat for consumers with easy-to-remember tips for a safe and healthful holiday season.

Join us for a lively and informative question and answer on how to be food-smart and food-safe over the holidays. We will be answering all questions on how to prepare healthful options for holiday meals, how to safely prepare it, and how to make smart and healthful choices when eating out! Follow @FoodInsight on Twitter and use the hashtag #CDChat to participate in the chat.
