Safe Food Prep

Following food safety practices helps protect you and your baby from foodborne illness. Here's what you need to know:

Wash your hands with soap and warm water before eating or preparing food.
Wash vegetables and fruit with water before eating or cooking.
Cook beef, chicken, turkey, fish, and seafood until well done.
Heat hot dogs, cold cuts, and deli meats (bologna, salami, ham) until steaming hot (165°F) before eating.
If you eat fish once a week or more, ask WIC staff or your health care provider for more information.
