Million pounds of ground beef recalled by company Print
There is concern about the possibility of E-coli O157:H7 contamination.  Please see the release from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service for details on the recalled ground beef.  Remember, ground beef must be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 F for harmful foodborne pathogens to be destroyed.
 

fightbac.org, the website of the Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE), is your resource for Fight BAC! food safety and safe food handling campaign information.

The Partnership for Food Safety Education unites representatives from industry associations, professional societies in food science, nutrition and health consumer groups, the United States Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration in an important initiative to educate the public about safe food handling practices needed to keep food safe from bacteria and prevent foodborne illness.

   

If juices run clear then meat and poultry is cooked to a safe temperature.
