Traveling this summer?
1. Keep meds in original containers so labels and directions stay with you.
2. Don’t mix meds in one container — it leads to easy mix‑ups.
3. Pack extra doses!
4. Keep meds away from kids.
If a mix‑up happens, call #PoisonHelp: 1‑800‑222‑1222.

June is National Safety Month—a perfect time to stay proactive about preventing emergencies. Keep your family poison‑safe by saving the Poison Help line in your phone and posting it somewhere easy to see at home. A small step that makes a big difference.

Follow the 2‑hour rule. Don’t let food sit out — bacteria grows fast when food hangs out in the danger zone. Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.

Serving up something delicious? Make sure cooked food never touches a plate that held raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs. Fresh utensils and clean platters are a must.

Grilling? Use a food thermometer and check the thickest part of the meat to make sure it’s cooked safely.

☑️ Steaks/roasts: 145–160°F
☑️ Ground meats: 160°F
☑️ Poultry: 165°F
☑️ Fish: 145°F or flakes easily

Always marinate food in the refrigerator—never on the counter or outdoors. Don’t reuse marinade from raw meat or poultry on cooked food. If you want to use it as a sauce, boil it first or set aside a portion of unused marinade.

Grilling season is back! Wash your hands for 20 seconds before and after handling food.
