As the Easter holiday approaches, the Henry and Stark County Health Departments make an important appeal – be mindful about the safety of your Easter eggs. To prevent foodborne illnesses, use only fresh, clean eggs, and ensure they’re prepared by health-conscious individuals. Eggs must be refrigerated immediately post-cooking and consumed within seven days. The departments recommend using two sets of eggs for Easter festivities – one for decoration and hunting, the other for consumption. Proper egg handling and storage can ensure a joyful Easter celebration, devoid of any food-related health risks.
