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.”
