Health Tip: Teach Kids About Snack Safety

(HealthDay News) -- When hungry kids get home from school, make sure they know how to fix a healthy snack -- and which foods to avoid.

The Foodsafety.gov website suggests avoiding:

• Any perishable foods that haven't been refrigerated, such as pizza.
• Any perishable leftovers from the lunchbox, such as all or part of a sandwich.
• Raw cookie dough.
• Raw fruits and veggies that are bruised or appear spoiled.
• Bread or soft cheese that appears moldy.
