Meal preparation and handling safely guide


When it comes to group meals, Meal security should be embraced as a member of the family. Please be sure to follow these helpful steps from the USDA to prepare and store Meals safely. 

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and countertops with frequency.  
Wash all fruits and vegetables under cold running water.
Separate: Prevent cross-contamination. Don't let raw meat, chicken or fish or their juices-touching other Meals. After cutting raw meats, wash hands, cutting boards, knives, and countertops with soap and hot water. 
Cook: Cook Meal to safe internal temperatures. Use a Meal thermometer to check the internal temperature. Steaks and roasts should be heated to 145°F, burgers to 160°F, chicken and turkey breasts to 170°F, the whole chicken, and turkey to 180°F. 
Transport of Meal: Keep Meal cold at or below 40°F. Put the Meal in the refrigerator with a source of cold as ice or gel freezing. Keep hot Meals at or above 140°F. Wrap well and place it in an insulated container. 
Reheat Meals: use the stove, oven or microwave to heat the Meal to 165°F. Bring sauces, soups, and gravies to the boiling point of at least 1 minute. 
Serve Meals: Keep hot Meals hot-at or above 140°F, cold Meals and cold-at or below 40°F.
Storage/: Leftovers Refrigerate or freeze perishable Meals within 2 hours, 1 hour in temperatures above 90°F. Use chilled, cooked leftovers within 2 days.

Dor does not put so much hot Meal in the refrigerator or freezer that raises the temperature and causes other Meals to spoil. When the refrigerator is overpopulated, the temperature can increase enough to cause increased bacterial action. Never place deep containers of hot Meal in the refrigerator. Put hot Meal in shallow containers and stir occasionally to be cooled quickly, then freeze as needed. Put the Meal in the refrigerator slows down the process of contamination; do not stop.
