Keep food safe for tailgating

From Tammy Roberts, Nutrition and Health Education Specialist, Missouri Extension

 Football season is in full swing. When you think about football, tailgating often comes to mind. It can be just as important as the game for many people. The thing that is important about tailgating, other than having a great time, is to keep your food safe so you are healthy for the next game.
