As individuals go through their kitchen and start to sift through their food, there are certain foods that are safe to keep and others that need to be tossed for safety reasons. Foods in waterproof food storage containers or commercially prepared jars, cans, and retort pouches that have contacted flood waters can be kept if they are properly cleaned and sanitized. For more information, see Safe Food After a Flood.
