Master Food Safety Advisors
The Routt County Extension office gets lots of calls year-round on home food safety and preservation. These questions often include:
- How long can I keep leftovers?
- How do I preserve tomatoes?
- How do I adjust the canning process for my elevation?
- And many more…
Questions? Contact our advisors!
Routt County Extension is home to the volunteer Routt County Master Food Safety Advisors. Thanks to their great work and dedication, we’re now able to answer many these calls, conduct presentations and workshops, and provide credible, up-to-date food safety information.
Master Food Safety Advisors receive in-depth training on food safety and safe food preservation methods. Our volunteers help others practice safe food handling and successfully can, freeze, and dehydrate food at home. Volunteers conduct demonstrations and workshops, test pressure canner gauges, staff exhibits at county fairs and farmers markets, write articles, and answer phone calls and emails.
Have a food safety or food preservation question? Need to get your pressure canner dial gauge tested? Looking for a class?
