Wash your hands after going to the bathroom, after touching raw meat, fish or poultry, and after taking out the garbage, sneezing, coughing, or smoking. If your refrigerator has fruit and vegetable drawers under the bottom shelf, put your raw poultry, meat or fish in a container on the bottom shelf. Never store foods that won't be cooked before serving in the same container as raw poultry, meat or fish. Use a hard cutting surface with no splits or holes in it. Germs can grow in them.
Household bleach is a good sanitizer.
Use 1 tsp. If food has been sitting at room temperature for up to 2 hours, refrigerate it or reheat it. If food has been sitting out for longer than 2 hours, throw it out.
