What You Need To Do To Prevent It

Carefully wash your hands often, and always before cooking or cleaning. Always wash them again after touching raw meat.

Clean dishes and utensils that have had any contact with raw meat, poultry, fish, or eggs.

Cook beef to at least 160°F (71°C), poultry to at least 165°F (73.8°C), and fish to at least 145°F (62.7°C).

DO NOT place cooked meat or fish back onto the same plate or container that held the raw meat, unless the container has been completely washed.

DO NOT use foods that have an unusual odor or a spoiled taste.

Cook frozen foods for the full time recommended on the package.

Refrigerate any perishable food or leftovers within 2 hours. Keep the refrigerator set to around 40°F (4.4°C) and your freezer at or below 0°F (-18°C). DO NOT eat meat, poultry, or fish that has been refrigerated uncooked for longer than 1 to 2 days.
