Eat food in sealed containers (cans, bottles, boxes, etc). Unspoiled food in your refrigerator or freezer is also safe to eat. Food in a pantry or drawer away from radioactive material is safe to eat.
Wipe off food containers with a damp cloth or clean towel before opening them. Put the used cloth or towel in a plastic bag or other sealable container and place the bag in an out-of-the-way place, away from other people and pets.
Wipe off counters, places, pots, and utensils with a damp cloth or clean towel before using them. Put the used cloth or towel in a plastic bag or other sealable container and place the bag in an out-of-the-way place, away from other people and pets.
Do not pick or eat food from your garden until emergency officials determine it is safe to do so.
Pet Food Safety
Just like people's food, pet food in sealed containers (cans, bottles, boxes) will be safe for animals to eat.
Wipe off pet food containers with a damp cloth or clean towel before opening them. Wipe off pet bowls, dishes and mats too. Put the used cloth or towel in a plastic bag or other sealable container and place the bag in an out-of-the-way place, away from other people and pets.
