For Safety’s Sake This is a reminder to all who participate in the Stay Fit Dining Program regarding the taking of food and plastic ware

home from the dining site. Please cooperate in following these important guidelines that have been designed to protect

your food and your health.

COLD FOODS: Bread, Milk, Juice, Fruit and other packaged Desserts may be taken home. Please refrigerate these

items as soon as possible and use them within a day or two.

HOT FOODS: For your protection, are not allowed to be taken from the dining sites. Hot foods cool very quickly

and become potentially dangerous within a short period of time. If these foods are not handled properly, they

could make you very ill. Please note- these same rules apply for pets-if you take leftovers home for your pets-

they can get sick too!

COLD FOODS: Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Coleslaw, Tuna Salad, Egg Salad, Cottage Cheese, Ham Salad, and

Sliced Meats on the cold plates are not allowed to be taken out of the dining sites to protect you from the risk

of becoming ill with food borne illness.

SALAD AS THE ENTRÉE: Please handle these meals in accordance with the above guidelines.

When food is not handled in the proper manner it enters the food handling danger zone of 40◦F-140◦F.When food

is in this temperature range for any length of time bacteria grows at a fast rate of speed.

Plastic ware, such as plates, tableware, dessert cups, juice cups, bowls or foil pans, may not be taken home for

reuse. These items are not made to be reused and are only to be used one time. It is impossible to sanitize these

items properly. These items have many crevices that can hold food particles that harmful bacteria favor for

growth.

These guidelines have been designed to protect your health and safety. Your Site Manager is responsible for reminding

you of these food safety tips and we appreciate your cooperation. We value your participation in our program and look

forward to seeing you again.

If you have any individual concerns, please contact your assigned Nutrition Program Staff person.

In keeping with our agreement with Erie County Senior Services, meals that

are unused must be thrown out. Far too much food has ended up in our

trash!! Please call the Senior Center@633-5138, as early as possible, if you

are unable to keep your meal reservation so that the meal can be given to

someone else. Thank you
