Focus on Watch What You Eat
-by Iris Ruiz
JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (May 29, 2015) -- Cornell Cooperative Extension Chautauqua County’s Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, EFNEP would like to talk about an issue tied to nutrition and that is the risk of food poisoning. Any food can poison you if it is not prepared and stored properly. Every year, 1 out of 6 Americans falls sick from poisoning. Most recover without lasting ill effects, but some die from it. What can you do to minimize the risk?
Stay safe this summer and watch what you eat.
