4 Easy Lessons in Safe Food Handling
Food handling safety risks at home are more common than most people think. The four easy lessons of Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill can help prevent harmful bacteria from making your family sick.
 
1. CLEAN:
Bacteria can spread throughout the kitchen and get on hands, cutting boards, knives & countertops. Frequent cleaning can keep that from happening.		   2. SEPARATE:
Cross-contamination is how bacteria spreads. Keep raw meat, poultry, and seafood and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods.
3. COOK:
Even for experienced cooks, the improper heating and preparation of food means bacteria can survive.		   4. CHILL:
Bacteria spreads fastest at temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F, so chilling food properly is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
