Food Safety Tips Hand-washing Clean dish towels and sponges often and leave to air dry. Wash hands thoroughly with hot water and soap before handling food. Wash hands after handling or switching between raw meats, poultry, seafood, or vegetables. Wash hands after using the restroom. Wash hands after using the phone. Wash hands after handling garbage or dirty dishes. Temperatures Set your refrigerator to chill foods down to 40ºF or less. Temperatures should be taken directly after cooking; continue cooking if necessary. Always cook foods to the proper internal temperature (see guidelines below). Food Internal Temperature Beef, Ground 155ºF Beef, Roasts/Steaks 145ºF Casserole (Rice/Pasta/Potato) 145ºF Eggs 145ºF Fish/Seafood 145ºF Meat (Rolled/Stuffed/Casserole) 165ºF Microwave Foods 165ºF Pork 155ºF Poultry/Boneless 165ºF Poultry/Bone-In Parts 170ºF Poultry/Whole (At The Thigh) 180ºF Reheated Leftovers 165ºF Leftovers Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of cooking. Store leftovers in small portions for quicker chilling. Cross-contamination Clean your sink before using it for food preparation. Wash utensils that have come in contact with the floor or other contaminated areas. Use only clean utensils to open packages and cans of food. Wash all produce thoroughly. Store washed produce in a new, clean container or bag. Wash utensils used for tasting before reusing. Store raw ingredients on refrigerator shelves below ready-to-eat foods. Refrigerate raw meats and poultry on a plate to prevent contamination of refrigerator shelves. Wash cutting boards and countertops with a mild bleach solution after cutting raw foods. Place cooked foods on a clean plate instead of returning them to the plate or marinade that held raw foods. ~fosterfarms.com |

I think people are generally much more careful around food once they have children! We're pretty good at most of this, but I definitely don't wash my hands every time I've used the phone, and I sometimes play with the cat and then make dinner without washing my hands first. But if we have children one day, we'd generally be much more precise to make sure they're kept germ-free. |
