Service’s food preservation
and safety hotline plans
to help Oregonians safely
can and p re s e rv e th e ir
garden’s abundance again
this summer.
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.
