HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital Safe Food Handling Tips
Local HSHS hospitals offer safety tips regarding food handling, preparation and storage during summer months
BREESE, HIGHLAND & GREENVILLE — Preventing a food-borne illness can be a bit more challenging during the summer months when temperatures rise and more people enjoy outdoor picnics, barbeques and camping.
Kayla Barnes, RD, LD, clinical dietitian at HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospitals in Breese and Highland and HSHS Holy Family Hospital in Greenville, says bacteria grow faster in warmer months because hot and humid conditions cause it to multiply. Bacteria can potentially double in as little as 20 minutes.
“The key to a healthy and happy summer gathering is keeping food temperature and time in mind. And when in doubt, throw it out.”
