• Description:
  1. Check inspection scores (Many state health departments make restaurant health inspection scores available on the web. Check the score before going to the restaurant or check when you get there.) ; 2. Make sure the restaurant is clean (Confirm that restaurant tables, floors, and utensils are clean. If not, you may want to take your business elsewhere.) ; 3. Check that your food is cooked thoroughly (Meat, fish, poultry, and eggs should be cooked thoroughly to kill germs. If food is served undercooked or raw, send it back.) ; 4. Properly handle your leftovers (Taking your food to go? Remember to refrigerate within 2 hours of eating out. If food is left in a hot car or temperatures above 90oF, refrigerate it within 1 hour. Eat leftovers within 3 to 4 days and throw them out if they smell bad or look funny.)
