It's officially fair season all across the country which means that there are tons of delicious, outside-the-box foods. For example, the Krispy Kreme chicken ice cream sandwich above. Click on the crazy sandwich to check out 16 fair foods you need to try this summer. 
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends asking yourself these questions before buying any fair food:

  • Does the vendor have a clean/tidy workstation?
  • Does the vendor have a sink for employees to wash their hands?
  • Do the employees wear gloves or use tongs when handling food?
  • Does the vendor have refrigeration on site for raw ingredients or pre-cooked foods?
  • Has the vendor been inspected? Is a recent inspection report available?

By considering these questions, you can save yourself and your family from a foodborne illness. To read some more tips about food safety at fairs and festivals, visit the CDC website  here.
