Hints and tips for Food Safety Week

Monday (June 16) marks the start of Food Safety Week — and the message from health professionals is not to wash that raw chicken on its way to the barbecue.

East Renfrewshire council’s environmental health team will be sharing more tips at Morrisons, Giffnock, on Thursday (June 19), 9.30am-2.30pm.
