When cooking, keep these tips in mind to keep your family safe from food poisoning.
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and cutting boards before and after contact with raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs.
Separate: Keep raw meat and poultry apart from foods that won't be cooked.
Cook: Use a food thermometer. You can't tell if food is cooked safely by how it looks.
Chill: Chill leftovers and takeout foods within two hours and keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below.
Rinse: Rinse fruits and vegetables (even those with skins or rinds that are not eaten) with tap water.
