What can I do at home to help protect my family from food borne illness?
- CLEAN: Wash hands and surfaces often with hot, soapy water.
- SEPARATE: Don’t cross-contaminate. Keep raw meat, poultry and seafood and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods.
- COOK: Cook to proper temperatures; don’t rely on color alone. Remember to use a food thermometer to check if food is done. Thorough cooking is the most important step in preventing foodborne illness.
