Our topic for today's POST, is again Food Safety! Our Thanksgiving and other holidays are fast approaching, so we think that Food Safety is definitely a front-burner item.
Our focus, today, is Poultry Cooking Temperatures. And hear what the US Department Of Agriculture (USDA) has to say about this. This is a verbatim excerpt:
Poultry Cooking Temperatures: FSIS is in the process of updating all the pages on its Web site to reflect new cooking recommendations for poultry. For safety, when cooking poultry, use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature. Poultry should reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F throughout the product.
USDA has a comprehensive Fact Sheet (on the internet) which deals with poultry cooking and other related subjects. The URL for this fact sheet is:
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Seasonal_Food_Safety_Fact_Sheets/index.asp. Please visit this site for a quick read. It is highly informative.
