Food Safety
Food safety isa very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep foodsafe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
beforeand after handling raw meatand poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internalfood temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meatand Poultry Hotline at
1-800-535-4555 (in Washington, DC [phone], 10:00 am-
4:00 pm EST).
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
•Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached
a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for
visual signs of doneness.
•Whole poultry should reach 165° F.Juices should run clear and
flesh should not be pink.
•Hamburgers madeof any ground meat or poultry should reach
160° F, and be brown in the middlewith no pinkjuices. Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°
F.All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
•NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
•When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F,or until steaming hot.
WARNING: Toensure that it is safe to eat, food must be cooked
to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table below.
USDA* Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures
Fish 145°F
Pork 160°F
Egg Dishes 160°F
Steaks and Roasts of Beef,
Veal or Lamb 145°F
Ground Beef, Veal or Lamb 160°F
Whole Poultry (Turkey,
