Food Safety: Don't get sick!

Cooking at home is often the most cost efficient and healthy way to eat. I love to cook, but I know that may not be true for everyone. Either way, we all have to eat! Having a general understanding of food safety guidelines will help keep you from getting sick - whether you are home or away.


I have provided an excellent resource for you to review.

http://www.foodsafety.gov/

The link above gives you specific cooking temperatures for food. Not all meat is created equally when it comes to safe internal temperatures that it must reach to kill the microbacteria that can make you sick. It also provides information regarding the different types of foodbourne illnesses and the signs/symptoms.

Do you know how long you can keep your leftovers? It will tell you that, too! Please take a minute or two to become familiar with the topics covered so you know where to go when you have a question. Food illness is preventable!
