Learning the do’s and don’ts of food-safe meal prep can help avoid foodborne illness. Start in the kitchen, putting FoodSafety into practice to protect you & your family. FoodSafetyMonth MondayMotivation MondayThoughts
The food supply in the United States is among the safest in the world. However, when certain disease-causing bacteria or pathogens contaminate food, they can cause foodborne illness, often called “food poisoning.” The Federal government estimates that there are about 48 million cases of foodborne illness annually – the equivalent of sickening 1 in 6 Americans each year. And each year, these illnesses result in an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths.
Consider using paper towels to clean up kitchen surfaces. If you use cloth towels, launder them often in the hot cycle. Color and texture are unreliable indicators of safety. Using a food thermometer is the only way to ensure the safety of meat, poultry, seafood, and egg products for all cooking methods. These foods must be cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature to destroy any harmful bacteria.
