Preparation & prevention of cross contamination & foodborne illnesses
- Wash hands well in hot soapy water before and after handling meat and other fresh foods.
- Keep raw meat and meat juices away from other foods, both in the refrigerator and during preparation.
- Wash all utensils, cutting surfaces and counters with hot, soapy water after contact with raw meat.
- Keep carving boards separate from other food preparation or serving boards.
- Never take beef off the grill and return it to the same platter that held raw beef unless the platter has been washed in hot soapy water.
- Don’t leave cooked food sitting out at room temperature for more than two hours.
