However, the quality and safety of your food also depends on how you handle it. The information in this section gives you the most up-to-date handling and storage recommendations to help you keep food at its best.
K E E P I N G F O O D AT I T S B E S T K E E P I N G F O O D S A F E TO E AT Most food-borne illness is caused by bacteria such a Staphylococcus, Salmonella, E-coli and Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that causes botulism. These bacteria grow rapidly at temperatures between 40˚F (4˚C) and 140˚F (60˚C), a range that’s called the Danger Zone. Never leave food in the danger zone for more than two hours. When the bacteria have multiplied to the millions in warm temperatures, they cause illness.
K E E P I N G F O O D AT I T S B E S T K E E P I N G F O O D S A F E TO E AT W H E N YO U P R E PA R E F O O D Clean everything that comes in contact with food. Wash your hands for 20 seconds before and after handling food. Sanitize counters, equipment and utensils after handling raw meat, seafood or poultry.
