Food safety is important and will always be important. Recently, Walmart has started providing food safety advice on some of their bags. The bags feature the title ‘Food Safety,’ and show the temperatures that different meats should be cooked at to ensure they are safe to eat. The bags also show a few tips like ‘Don’t cross contaminate,’ and ‘be clean, be healthy.’

Arizona Farm Bureau has been advocating for food safety for quite some time. So, we’re glad to see the food industry and specifically the grocery stores help with this process. Here is a list of all the blog we’ve already published about the topic.
