Food Safety

It is exciting that businesses like the St. Louis Zoo and the St. Louis Aquarium have started opening, allowing lots of opportunities for children to still have a fun and educational summer. However, it is very important to keep your family healthy and safe especially given that COVID-19 is still a major public health concern. Proper handwashing is very important in reducing the spread of germs. Singing the “Happy Birthday” song or the “ABC’s” while you wash is a great way to remember how long the recommended 20 seconds of handwashing is. Food safety is another important part of keeping your family safe and healthy. Check out the following video made by SLU Dietetic Intern Victoria Wannemuehler for a virtual nutrition education where she discussed the steps to keep your food safe to eat
