Safety Tips
Use these safety tips to avoid the yellow flag at your game day party.
- Always wash your hands BEFORE starting to prepare food and in between tasks. Handwashing is critical to preparing safe food.
- Plan ahead and thaw frozen food in the refrigerator. For every 5 pounds (2kg 270g) of large frozen food, allow 24 hours of refrigerator thawing time. Place the food in a tray or container deep enough to collect any draining fluids to prevent contamination of other foods in your refrigerator.
- Cook your raw meat products to the minimum internal temperatures as stated on the product packaging.
| PRODUCT COOKING | U.S. MINIMUM INTERNAL TEMPERATURES |
| Poultry (all forms) Stuffing and stuffed products Raw animal proteins (all parts) cooked in a microwave |
165°F (74°C) for 15 seconds |
| Ground, shaved, injected or tenderized raw meats (beef, pork, lamb, wild game). Can included brined ham and flavor-injected roasts Commercially raised game animals (all forms) |

- Keep it clean! It is important to thoroughly clean kitchen counters, cutting boards, utensils to prevent cross contamination.
- Leftovers must be cooled to below 70°F (21°C) within 2 hours, and then to 41°F (5°C) or below within 4 hours.
- Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you must leave the kitchen, turn off the stove.
