๐ข CITY OF LOVELOCK โ FOOD SAFETY REMINDER ๐ฝ๏ธ
The City of Lovelock wants to remind our community to make food safety a priority when purchasing meals, baked goods, or other food items from individuals or businesses.
We all love supporting local businesses and community members, but food safety matters, no matter where your food comes from!
โ
Choose reputable restaurants and food vendors that follow proper food safety practices.
โ
Ask about health permits. If you are purchasing food from a private individual, home-based food business, pop-up vendor, or food stand, make sure they have the required health permit or approval from the appropriate health authority.
โ
Understand the risks. Food prepared or stored improperly can lead to foodborne illnesses caused by harmful bacteria, cross-contamination, or unsafe temperatures.
โ
Protect your family. A clean appearance doesn't always mean food has been prepared safely. Proper food handling, sanitation, storage, and temperature control are essential.
A health permit helps ensure that applicable food safety requirements are being met. Requirements can vary depending on the type of food being sold and how it is prepared, so not every situation has the same rules.
โค๏ธ Supporting our community is important, but protecting our health is even more important.
Before purchasing food, take a moment to ask questions and make sure the seller is operating in compliance with applicable health requirements.
Safe food protects everyone!
