back on the plate that held the raw
meat.
✱ Use clean utensils to cut and serve
prepared food.
Potlucks and parties

✱ Use electric serving dishes or crock-
pots to keep foods hot, if serving time
is long or delayed.
✱ Keep cold foods in the refrigerator or

Picnics

good places for bacteria to grow.

meats, salads or sandwiches cold.
