- Begin your grocery shopping by selecting shelf-stable items such as canned goods, chips and soft drinks. Make sure the containers are intact. Cans should not be bulging, leaking or dented on the seam or rim. Lids must be secure. Plastic or paper packaging shouldn’t be torn.
- Select refrigerated and frozen foods and hot deli items last – right before checkout.
- Don’t choose meat, fish, poultry or dairy products that feel warm to the touch or have a damaged or torn package. If a package begins to leak, wrap it in plastic bags.
- Choose only pasteurized dairy products and refrigerated eggs that are not cracked or dirty.
- Check “sell-by” and “use-by” dates on packages.
