Food Connects Us
Food is a connecting factor for many of us. Food connects us to our cultures, our families and our friends. Sharing a meal is an opportunity to learn about its preparation, who made it and where the ingredients were sourced. Health, memories, traditions, seasons and access can all impact our relationship with food. While these factors influence the foods we eat, the foods we eat also affect our health.

Food Tip: Unboxing Meal
Delivery Kits & Food Safety
Most home delivery meal kits kits arrive neatly packed in insulated boxes containing various types of refrigeration aids. But the time spent sitting in a long-haul truck, the meal delivery vehicle and on your sunny porch can cause food to spoil. As meal delivery services become available for more food products in more places, all with just a quick click, how do you know if your food is safe to eat?
