CDC Food Safety Tips
Before firing up the grill this season, make sure to clean your grill and grill tools. Use a moist cloth or paper towel to wipe down the grill surface before cooking. If you use a wire bristle brush for cleaning, make sure to thoroughly inspect the grill’s surface for any loose bristles before cooking. Loose bristles can come off the brush and stick to the food on the grill. More info...
