Safe Handling Tips
- Defrost in the refrigerator only, not on the bench.
- Use separate cutting boards and utensils when handling raw and cooked poultry. Wash these thoroughly with hot, soapy water before and after handling. Also use separate cutting boards from poultry for fruit and vegetables.
- If you cook poultry to eat later, refrigerate while hot.
- Always store cooked foods above raw foods in the refrigerator.
