His name is BAC (bacteria) and he is on the attack. He is the invisible enemy
and he can make you sick. But you have the power to Fight BAC!TM and keep your
food safe.
Check out the ways you can Fight BAC!®
- Always cook food to a safe internal temperature.
- Use a food thermometer to check temperatures in food. Clean the thermometer
each time it is used.
- Cook ground beef, including hamburgers, to at least 160 °F.
- Cook roasts and steaks to at least 145 °F.
- Cook whole chicken or turkey to 180 °F.
- Cook leftovers to at least 165 °F.
- Placing the food thermometer in the right place is important. The thermometer
should be placed in the thickest part of most foods, away from bone and fat.
- When cooking in a microwave oven, cover, stir, and turn food for even cooking.
Use a food thermometer to check the temperature in the food.
- Always cook eggs before eating. Egg yolks and whites should be firm, not
runny, when cooked. Don't eat uncookedfoods that contain raw eggs, like raw
cookie dough or uncooked cake batter.
