Food Safety has No Expiration Date!

Although we celebrate food safety education in the month of September, food safety has no "expiration" or "best if used by"  date. 

As the holidays approach, now seems like the perfect time to share an article from foodsafety.gov on the Four Steps to Food Safety (hint: keep it CLEAN, SEPARATE to stop the spread, COOK to proper temperature, and don't let food CHILL OUT). These reminders are important for not only the school cafeteria, but also for classroom parties, staff and team luncheons, and for your own kitchen at home.

Rapids Wholesale, our small wares prime vendor, has pieced together a great group of offers to help your kitchen succeed with food safety requirements. These offers are valid on school purchases only. 


Reminder:  Rapids continues to offer FREE SHIPPING on all AEA Purchasing Market Basket orders! There is no minimum cart fee to receive free shipping thru December 2022.
