Do not eat any food that has come in contact with flood water. Products properly sealed in cans or foil pouches can be used after the container is rinsed with clean drinking water and immersed for 15 minutes in a freshly made solution consisting of 1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of clean drinking water. The containers should be completely air-dried before opening or storing. Additional information is available from the Food Safety and Inspection Services (an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture).
