Tips offered on how to have a safe holiday meal ‘ The holiday season is just around the comer. That means get-togethers with friends, family, and food-lots o f food. The O regon Department of Agriculture is reminding you to practice good, safe food handling and preparation techniques at all times, but with perhaps a little extra attention to detail for the T h an k sg iv in g or Christmas holiday meal. “T h ere is alw ays potential for food illness with the bigger meals that are prepared, so food safety is a very im p o rtan t th in g to remember during this time of the y e a r,” says E llen Laymon, field supervisor with OD A ’s Food Safety Division. A safe meal can be ensured through proper food handling, preparation, and storage. Slacking off in any of the three areas could spell trouble. Holiday food safety actually begins as you do your g ro cery shopping. C ro ss-c o n ta m in a tio n of foods can take place right in the grocery cart. Make sure food that might be consumed in a ready-to-eat fashion, such as apples, are kept in a bag. The gro cery store p ro v id es bags fo r that reason. They also provide bags for meats to make sure there are no drips that might contaminate other foods. O nce the food p u rch ase is m ade, head straight for home. It’s always a good idea to make the grocery store the last stop on your list of errands for the day so those foods are still cold and safe when you get them hom e to your refrigerator. Put groceries away immediately. D on’t leave foods on the counter while you try to get other things done. T he tra d itio n a l turkey is a centerpiece for the holiday meal. It also d eserv es close atten tio n when it comes to food safety. Remember that the turkey thaws from outside in. So the surface temperature is going to be warmer a lot longer which raises the potential for growth of food pathogens. “ P eople have a ten d en cy to thaw th e ir turkeys out on the counter or the stove top and we know that is not a safe thing to d o ,” says Laym on. “Thaw ing overnight in a refrigerator is probably the best practice. The general rule of thumb is one night of re frig e ra to r thaw ing for every five pounds of turkey. So you need to plan ahead when you have a bigger- sized bird.” C o n trary to what many people think, a turkey should not be washed or rinsed off as you begin to prepare it. That only smears or transfers the bacteria onto your hands or into your sink where, if not immediately sanitized, it could easily get onto other foods or utensils. Immediately throw aw ay any packaging from the turkey and wipe up any drips with a disposable item, like a paper towel. It’s the cooking of the turkey that will kill the bacteria. ODA recommends the use o f a m eat thermometer to make sure you get a good endpoint temperature. That tem p eratu re should reach 165 degrees F ah ren h eit. I t’s also recom m ended to not put stuffing in the bird. It’s much safer to prepare the stuffing in a baking dish and bake it separately simply because you don't easily know what the internal temperature of the turkey is going to be. It is also unwise to partially cook the turkey the night before, cool it in the refrigerator, and then finish the cooking the next day. F requent h eatin g and cooling does a good job of promoting bacterial growth. Chances are turkey is not the only food item being prepared in the kitchen right before the dinner. Other foods- many ready-to-eat items- are being prepared right alongside the big bird. That sets up the potential of cross-contamination. "M ake sure you have sep a ra te cu ttin g boards, separate knives and other utensils when you are handling raw versus ready- to-eat foods,” says Laymon. Of co u rse, handwashing is an absolute requirement prior, during, and after food handling. Finally, the dinner is co o k ed . The g u ests are serv ed . E v ery th in g is delicious and very filling. Dinner is over and it is very tempting to just get up from the table and retire to the liv in g room for conversation. Don’t forget about the leftovers. "A lw ays have all leftovers put away within two hours,” warns Laymon. “ Put th in g s in shallow containers so they will cool rapidly in the refrigerator. Keep them covered. Keep them separate. That way the food will cool rapidly and will be safe.” Leftovers may be the best part o f holiday dinners. Reheated leftovers need to reach at least 165 degrees. “In general, the rule of thumb on leftovers is only reheat them o n ce,” says Laymon. “So plan that if you are not going to be p rep arin g the le fto v e r turkey within two or three days, you'll want to freeze what you won’t be using.” WEB SERVICES FOR YOUR BUSINESS OR ORGANISATION Bank of E a s te r n O re g o n A ro u n d th e C o rn e r N ot A ro u n d th e S ta te '•’’O*.
