Remember food safety this holiday season Poor Food Preparation and Storage Can Spoil Your Holiday Festivities By Beth Fisher Cabinet for Health and Family Services Frankfort, KY - With the holiday season right around the corner, many people will be enjoying celebrations by entertaining friends and family, having parties and preparing feasts. From the buffet table to the office party, food becomes a focus of celebrations. The Department for Public Health (DPH), a part of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, wants the public to keep safe health practices in mind. Many holiday dinners incorporate meat and poultry, possible sources of foodborne disease, a serious public health concern that is more common than many people assume. In fact, 1 in 6 Americans will get a foodborne illness this year. "Great food is one of the many wonderful holiday traditions in Kentucky and we want everyone to enjoy food happily and safely this Thanksgiving," said CHFS Cabinet Secretary Vickie Yates Brown Glisson. "That is why we are reminding Kentuckians to be careful about purchasing and preparing food and to pay close attention to simple hygiene practices, like handwashing, food storage and clean-up. Following a few simple guidelines is all it takes to prevent foodborne illness."
