When serving food, remember to wear gloves or use clean utensils. NO BARE HAND CONTACT! • Be sure to wash plates, utensils and cutting boards that have touched raw meat, eggs, poultry and dairy products before using again for cooked food. Don’t cross contaminate! • Keep hot foods hot! [135° or higher] Temperatures between 160° to 212°F destroy most bacteria. Be sure to cook all foods to their safe internal temperature: • Poultry and fish 165° • Ground beef, pork, veal, lamb 155° • Raw beef, pork chops and roasts 145°. • Keep cold foods cold! [41° or colder]. Pack perishable foods in an insulated cooler surrounded by several inches of ice. • When in doubt, throw it out! Any food that hasn’t been eaten or sold within 2 hours of preparation needs to be thrown out to avoid making any one sick. In fact, when the temperature outside is above 90° outside, foods left out for more than one hour should be considered unsafe to eat.
