USDA urges summer food safety precautions for outdoor cooking
Fox News
The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants the public to keep three food safety precautions in mind when cooking summer staples outside: Wash hands, use a food thermometer and avoid cross-contamination.
If there’s only one cutting board available, the USDA recommends washing it thoroughly with "hot, soapy water" before moving on to another food group.
USDA researchers analyzed consumer behavior in test kitchens.
They found that many people forget these precautions, which could lead to avoidable foodborne illness.
