Advice for making sure your holiday turkey is safe

Safety in food handling, cooking, and storage are essential in preventing foodborne illness. As the most common problems related to foodborne illnesses linked to poultry are food handling errors and inadequate cooking, here are some tips to help you make sure your  holiday turkey is safe:

- Thaw your turkey at a safe temperature. Bacteria can grow rapidly in the “danger zone” between 40°F and 140°F.

- Handle your turkey separately. Avoid cross-contamination by keeping you raw poultry in separate cooking surfaces.

- Prepare the stuffing safely. If stuffing is prepared ahead of time, it must be either frozen or cooked immediately

- Cook your turkey thoroughly. Set the oven temperature to at least 325°F and verify with a cooking thermometer that it reached an internal temperature of 165°F.

I buy this lunch meat all the time at Walmart and haven’t experienced any problems maybe it’s the smell of the lunch meat being packaged or maybe your stomach is extremely sensitive to packaged lunch meat another thing I can think of is maybe someone at the store left it out and then decided to put it back in the fridge later

Hi, thanks for your comment. TIP: Frozen food can cause food poisoning, most commonly via Listeria, a pathogen that can survive freezing. In July 2021 a Listeria outbreak related to frozen fully cooked chicken caused three hospitalizations and one death. Also Deli meats such as ham can cause food poisoning. Ham can become contaminated with harmful bacteria including Listeria and Staph during processing. Listeria is the most common cause of ham food poisoning and symptoms can include fever, chills, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea.

Eagle Produce LLC Scottsdale, AZ is initiating a voluntary recall of 6,456 cases of whole cantaloupe with the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella following a test conducted on cantaloupe in a distribution center by the FDA.

The cantaloupe subject to the recall include:
Brand: Kandy, Item Description: Whole Cantaloupe, UPC number Code: 4050, Lot Code: 797901
Brand: Kandy, Item Description: Whole Cantaloupe, UPC number Code: 4050, Lot Code: 797900
Brand: Kandy, Item Description: Whole Cantaloupe, UPC number Code: 4050, Lot Code: 804918

No other products or lot code dates are affected by this recall. The company is cooperating with the FDA regarding this recall.

Customers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume the products.
