Halloween Safety
Even if you’re opting to have a Halloween party rather than going out, adhere to general food safety rules. Make sure apple cider is pasteurized, don’t leave foods that need to be refrigerated in room temperature for more than two hours, keep hot food above 140 degrees Fahrenheit, properly wash fruit and don’t consume raw cookie dough.
