From Farm To Food
There are many places and processes along the route of a chicken from farm to food
where salmonella and other pathogens can hide and grow. The only place
and process you can count on is your kitchen and your cooking.
Thoroughly wash your hands between handling of different foods,
thoroughly wash counter tops between preparation of different foods and
cook to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Be aware of state and local health
department oversight of restaurants.
