Beware Of Wire Barbecue Brush Bristles

A reminder for anyone planning to entertain family and friends this Victoria Day by holding a barbecue.

Health Canada has issued some suggestions when it comes to using wire brushes on the grill.

They say through repeated use while cleaning your barbecue, bristles can come off the brush and stick to the grill and your food.

If they are ingested, they can cause serious health issues.

They suggest inspecting your brush for signs of damage or loose bristles.

Health Canada recommends replacing your brush on a regular basis, and stop using it if you notice the bristles coming loose.
