As the holidays near, everyone seems to plan parties and elaborate feasts. Here are some food-safety suggestions, courtesy of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

• Wash hands and food-contact surfaces often. Bacteria can spread throughout the kitchen and get onto cutting boards, knives, sponges and counter tops.

• Advertisement

  Don't let bacteria spread from one food product to another, especially among raw meats, poultry and seafood. Keep these foods and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods.
• Cook to proper temperatures. Foods are properly cooked when they are heated long enough at high-enough temperatures to kill harmful bacteria.
• Refrigerate promptly. Refrigerators should be set at 4 degrees Celsius and the freezer at –18 degrees Celsius, and the accuracy of the settings should be checked with a thermometer.
