The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline can answer your food safety
questions. This toll-free telephone service, which began July 1,
1985, helps prevent foodborne illness
specifically by answering
questions about the safe storage, handling, and preparation of
meat, poultry, and egg products. The Hotline is staffed by food
safety specialists with backgrounds in home economics, nutrition,
and food technology.
You may speak with a food safety specialist -- in English or
Spanish -- from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on weekdays
year round. An extensive menu of recorded food safety messages
may be heard 24 hours a day. Dial the nationwide toll-free
number, 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854). The toll-free number
for the hearing impaired (TTY) is 1-800-256-7072.
(The Hotline is closed on Federal government holidays, with
the exception of Thanksgiving Day. Hours of operation on
Thanksgiving are 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time).
