FOOD PRESERVERS & SAFETY ADVISORS |
Chickens, rabbits and other animals may carry Salmonella and other pathogens that may be transmitted to humans. Even on healthy animals, harmful bacteria may be present in the feces and on the fur and feathers. To protect yourself and your children:
After handling animals wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
Always wash hands before preparing food or eating.
Supervise small children carefully to avoid hand to mouth contamination.
