Prepare Some Safe Food

It only requires a few precautions to ensure that the food you prepare in the kitchen is safe and sanitary. Follow these tips for healthy home cooking:

• Watch that milk. Keep dairy products refrigerated once opened and follow the expiration dates. Discard expired items even if they don't show signs of spoilage.
• Chill out. Thaw meat, fish and poultry on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator or under running potable water.
• Keep it clean. Wash chopping boards and knives before and particularly between cutting cooked and raw foods,
• Cook, don't freeze. Once meat, fish or poultry has been thawed, cook them immediately. Don't refreeze raw items.
