If they., -are sold ata warm tem- perature, they should be kept over 60 degrees C (140 degrees F). Room tem- perature enables bacteria to grow. Always check that these products have been freshly cooked and have not been held for several hours. After buying, refrigerate them within two hours. Do not purchase cracked eggs. While they may appear to be a bargain, the risk of. contamination by salmonella.,, bacteria is too great. The bacteria are present on the exterior of the shell and can enter the contents of the egg through cracks. If an egg becomes cracked, use It in a food which will be thoroughly cooked. Any bacteria which are present will be destroyed by heat. Check cans to ensure that they are not bulged at the ends or on the side seams. Bulging indicates that the contents have spoiled. Dented cans are safe to buy as longas the seals are not broken. Buy tightly sealed vacuum packed meats. A package where the film does not adhere to the meat, has a poor seal. The meat inside will not be in top quality. Avoid frozen food packages with a heavy frost buildup. This is an in- dication that the contents may have previously thawed and been re-frozen.Damaged frozen food packages should be avoided as bacteria are able to enter through tears and holes.

Have meats sliced at the delicatessen 'counter while you wait. Avoid buying meat that is pre -sliced as , it deteriorates more rapidly. Also it is not always rotated to guarantee freshness. Be careful when buying reduced fresh produce. Over -ripe or bruised fruit may appear economical but it may be moldy. Check for mold on the blossom orstem ends as it can enter into the interior of the fruit.
