Do You Know What to Do with Food after a Fire?

Opened and unopened boxes and cans are unsafe to eat after a fire loss.

SERVPRO of Hannibal is here to navigate you through the difficult and emotional time during a fire loss. 

Do you know what to do with your food after your home or business experiences a fire?

The best safe practice is to let us damage out and throw away all the food in your cabinets and pantries. This includes can goods, cake/cookie mixes, vegetable/olive oils, coffee/tea containers, flour/sugar, and even pastas! The list goes on but we here at SERVPRO of Hannibal are fire damage experts and can help you sort through your items. 

Smoke and soot have the ability of finding their way into every little nook and cranny which includes food. The heat from the fire itself can damage can goods and make them unsafe for you to eat. 

If you have any questions about the safety of your food after a smoke or fire loss then please do not hesitate to call us at 573-231-0056.
