WASHINGTON — America’s biggest food holiday is almost here, and the U.S. Dept of Agriculture reminds consumers to avoid habits that increase the risk of harmful bacteria in their Thanksgiving meal.
“Unsafe handling and undercooking your turkey can cause foodborne illness,” said U.S.D.A. Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Emilio Esteban. “To ensure your Thanksgiving meal is wholesome and memorable without the illness, follow the four steps to food safety: clean, separate, cook and chill, and avoid risky food handling habits that go against U.S.D.A. guidelines.”
