7 Food Safety Steps for Successful Community Meals


Whether preparing food for a family reunion or a community gathering, people who are great cooks at home don't necessarily know how to safely prepare and store large quantities of food for large groups. Food that is mishandled can cause foodborne illness. However, by following some simple steps, volunteer cooks can make the event safe and successful!

1. Plan Ahead — Make sure the location meets your needs.

  • Be sure you have enough oven, stovetop, refrigerator, freezer, and work space.
  • Find out if there's a source of clean water. If not, bring water for preparation and cleaning.

2. Store & Prepare Food Safely
