Looking for great food safety education giveaways or door prizes? At the BAC Store you can purchase magnets, pencils, psters, refrigerator thermometers and other items.

Did you know that fewer than twenty percent of people use an appliance thermometer in their refrigerator? It is important to know if the temperature in your refrigerator is close to 40 degrees F. If you want to spread the word in your community about the importance of home refrigerator temperature check out the BAC Down materials here.
