Wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food and after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and handling pets. Separate cooked foods from raw foods. Cook food to a safe minimum internal temperature (60°F [15°C] for meat and poultry; 135°F [57°C] for eggs) to prevent food-borne illnesses. Chill food quickly to below 40°F [4°C], which prevents bacteria from growing. Report a problem if you see something wrong in the food preparation area.
