The first official football Sunday of the season is here! Whether you're cheering from the couch, hosting a crowd, or heading to a stadium, game day snacks are a must...but don't let food safety get lost in the excitement! Keep your favorite game day foods safe with these simple tips:

๐Ÿˆ Keep hot foods hot and keep cold foods cold!
๐Ÿˆ Never leave food out at room temperature for more than 2 hours!
๐Ÿˆ If a food tray is getting low, don't add fresh food to it! This can make it difficult to determine how long food has been at room temperature for.
๐Ÿˆ Clean your hands, utensils, and surfaces to avoid cross contamination.
๐Ÿˆ Be mindful of the allergies and dietary restrictions of your guests!
