Grillmasters: Do you have the right tools?

Keep your friends and family safe this grilling season by making sure food is cooked to a high enough internal temperature to kill harmful bacteria that cause foodborne illness.

You cannot determine if food is fully cooked just by looking at it. The only way to make sure food has reached a safe minimum internal temperature is to use a food thermometer.

Refer to the Heat it Up Chart for safe minimum internal temperatures.

Get more information on safe grilling and using a food thermometer by downloading a new grilling flier.
