Food Safety Gadgets that are Dietitian Recommended and Dietitian Approved.

Stockings in our family traditionally are stuffed with 3 different types of goodies

• From the Top: Sweets so as not to giveaway any hidden treasures

• Tucked in In the Toe: precious miniatures (hint: Diamond Earring Studs) 

• Everything else: Items not on the stuffee’s list but that the stuffer (I’m open to better descriptors here) thought would be perfectly suited or ingeniously make life easier.

This year, instead of window shopping, I sought stocking stuffer inspiration elsewhere. I reached out to my registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) contacts and asked for their suggestions. Within 72 hours, I received so many great ideas, I decided to narrow the list to 10, including of course, those that would be on the Food Safety Dietitian’s wishlist criteria: to prevent food poisoning, reduce food waste, keep food and food handlers, safe.

 Here’s how I decided what made the short list: 

• Fit in a stocking even if some rolling and ribboning required

• A great gadget that supports food safety, even if in an imaginative way.

• $10 price range

The 2nd most fun thing about creating this list was learning about new products I had never used or considered. If making the selections was 2nd, what was 1st? Clicking the web sites of the RDNs who shared their suggestions. Check those out as you shop.
