Easter Egg Safety Tips

Easter just wouldn't be Easter without the all important egg hunt.

You know where the kids spend Saturday afternoon dye coloring eggs and then we as parents hide them outside in the yard, usually on a very hot sunny Sunday.  These eggs spend in most cases several hours outside, under logs, behind bushes and in the limbs of trees for hours before they are found and eaten.  That's scary!

Eggs are among the foods that potentially harbor salmonella bacteria. To reduce the chance of illness, always observe safe cooking and handling of boiled eggs.  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises refrigeration of hard-boiled eggs within two hours of cooking, for health and safety.
