Holiday food safety tips

Holiday food safety requires attention to thawing schedules, safe internal cooking temperatures, clean preparation surfaces, and the time food spends on a buffet. Keep raw poultry juices away from ready-to-eat foods.

Make space in the refrigerator before the event and divide leftovers into shallow containers for prompt cooling.
