The toll-free hotline at 1-800-354-7319 is available July 14 to Oct. 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The hotline rem ains a useful resource for food safety inform ation even in the Internet age, said N ellie O ehler, a faculty m em ber w ith the OSU Extension Service's Family and C om m unity H ealth program and Master Food Preserver coordinator in Lane County. “ T h e r e 's a lo t o f misinformation online and you have to know the right w ebsites to get accurate information or you could literally kill y o u rse lf if you use techniques that a re n o t s a f e ,” O e h le r said. “ People call us to get reliable inform ation from a real person. The Lane and Douglas County M aster Food P reservers who answer the calls have good training and years of ex p erien ce canning and preserving food.” L ike all E x te n sio n - c e r tif ie d M a ste r Food Preservers, those who staff the hotline have completed 40 hours o f training and agreed to spend a similar amount of time sharing their new knowledge with the public. Last year, 460 new and veteran M aster Food Preservers throughout the state volunteered more than 20,000 hours of their time on the statew ide hotline and at workshops and exhibits. Master Food Preservers a n s w e re d 2 ,2 6 2 c a lls during the 2013 summ er season. About 80 percent o f those dealt with food safety questions. Typical questions include where to get pressure gauges tested, how long in advance you can cook chicken before the big family picnic and whether grandma’s canning recipe is still safe.
