- Always pick up packaged and canned food first
- Never buy food in cans that are bulging or dented or in jars that are cracked or have loose or bulging lids
- Look for expiration date on the foods you buy; never buy outdated foods. Pick the one that will stay fresh the longest.
- Always open egg packages to ensure that none of them is cracked or leaking.
- Pick up frozen foods and meats last just before going to the checkout counter. It is worth noting that you always put your foods in different plastic bags to keep them from dripping on other foods in your shopping cart
