10 Dangerous Food Safety Mistakes

We all want to keep our families safe and healthy. But sometimes a simple mistake in how we

handle and prepare food can lead to serious sickness. With some germs like Salmonella, just a

small amount in undercooked food is enough to cause food poisoning. And just a tiny taste of

food with botulism toxin can cause paralysis and even death. You can protect your family by

avoiding these mistakes.

Mistake #1: Washing meat, chicken, or turkey

Why It’s a Mistake: Washing raw meat, chicken, turkey, or eggs can spread germs to your sink,

countertops, and other surfaces in your kitchen. Those germs can get on other foods, like salads

or fruit, and make you sick.

Solution: Don’t wash meat, chicken, turkey, or eggs. Cooking them thoroughly will kill harmful

germs.

Mistake #2: Eating raw batter or dough, including cookie dough, and other foods with uncooked

eggs or uncooked flour

Why It’s a Mistake: Uncooked flour and eggs may contain E. coli, Salmonella, or other harmful

bacteria.

Solution: Cook or bake flour and eggs thoroughly. Don’t eat foods that contain raw or

undercooked eggs, such as runny eggs, homemade mayonnaise, hollandaise sauce, and

eggnog. Don’t eat raw (uncooked) dough or batter that contains flour or eggs. Keep raw dough

away from children, including play dough. Wash hands, work surfaces, and utensils thoroughly

after contact with flour, raw eggs, and raw dough.

Mistake #3: Thawing or marinating food on the counter

Why It’s a Mistake: Harmful germs can multiply very quickly at room temperature.

Solution: Thaw food safely. You can thaw it:

▪ in the refrigerator,

▪ in cold water, or

▪ in the microwave.

Always marinate food in the refrigerator no matter what kind of marinade you’re using.

Mistake #4: Not cooking meat, chicken, turkey, seafood, or eggs thoroughly

Why It’s a Mistake: Undercooked foods may have germs that can make you sick.

Solution: Use a food thermometer to make sure you cook food to a safe internal temperature.

Also, if you won’t be serving hot food right away, keep it hot (at 140°F or above) until serving.

Mistake #5: Peeling fruits and vegetables without washing them first

Why It’s a Mistake: Fruits and vegetables may have germs on their peel or skin. It’s easy to

transfer those germs to the inside of fruits and vegetables when you cut or peel them.

Solution: Wash all fruits and vegetables under running water even if you’re going to peel them.

Use a clean vegetable brush to scrub firm fruits and vegetables like melons, avocados, and

cucumbers. Washing fruits and vegetables with soap, detergent, or commercial produce wash is

not recommended. Do not use bleach solutions or other disinfecting products on fruits and

vegetables.

Mistake #6: Not washing your hands

Why It’s a Mistake: Germs on your hands can get on food and make it unsafe.

Solution: Wash hands the right way—for 20 seconds with soap and running water. Wash hands

before, during, and after preparing food; before eating; and after using the toilet or changing a

child’s diaper.

Mistake #7: Eating risky foods if you are more likely to get food poisoning

Why It’s a Mistake: Anyone can get food poisoning, but some people are more likely to get

sick and to have a more serious illness. This includes:

▪ adults aged 65 and older

▪ children younger than 5 years

▪ people who have health problems or who take medicines that lower the body’s ability to fight

germs and sickness (weakened immune systems)

▪ pregnant women

Solution: People who are more likely to get food poisoning should not eat:

▪ Undercooked or raw animal products (such as meat, chicken, turkey, eggs, or seafood)

▪ Raw or lightly cooked sprouts

▪ Unpasteurized (raw) milk and juices

▪ Soft cheese (such as queso fresco), unless it is labeled as made with pasteurized milk

Mistake #8: Putting cooked meat back on a plate that held raw meat

Why It’s a Mistake: Germs from the raw meat can spread to the cooked meat.

Solution: Always use separate plates for raw meat and cooked meat. The same rule applies to

chicken, turkey, and seafood.

Mistake #9: Tasting or smelling food to see if it’s still good

Why It’s a Mistake: You can’t taste, smell, or see the germs that cause food poisoning. Tasting

only a tiny amount can make you very sick.

Solution: Check storage times to see how long you can store food safely. When the time is up,

throw it out.

Mistake #10: Leaving food out too long before putting it in the fridge

Why It’s a Mistake: Harmful germs can grow in perishable foods (including meat, chicken,

turkey, seafood, eggs, cut fruit, cooked rice, and leftovers) if you leave them out of the

refrigerator 2 hours or longer.

Solution: Put perishable foods in the refrigerator within 2 hours or within 1 hour if the food is

exposed to a temperature over 90˚F (like in a hot car). Divide roasts and large portions of food,

such as pots of stew or chili, into smaller containers so they will chill quickly. It’s OK to put warm

or hot food into the refrigerator, as long as it’s packaged in amounts small enough to cool

quickly.

$30.00 per person or a table for ten is $300.00 in the form of a donation to the Huntington Human Services Institute, Inc. a portion of which may be tax-deductible.

In conjunction with honoring our 49 Vietnam Huntington Heroes, a commemorative journal will be printed. We ask your cooperation by sponsoring a full or half page. The journal is vital to the success of our fundraising efforts. 100% of the proceeds from the journal will be earmarked to benefit veterans, soldiers and their families in crisis and to continue providing programs to honor and benefit veterans of all wars. The journal application sheet is attached.

A full unlimited brunch is planned for your enjoyment. We expect many veterans, spouses, family and friends to join us for this significant occasion. For details contact Carol Rocco (631) 351-3012 or email crocco@HuntingtonNY.gov

SAVE THE DATE!

Don’t give your personal or financial information in response to a request that you didn’t expect.

Legitimate organizations won’t call, email,

or text to ask for your personal infor-

mation, like your Social Security, bank

account, or credit cart card numbers.

If you get an email or text message from a

company you do business with and you

think it’s real, it’s still best not to click on

any links. Instead, contact them using a

website you know is trustworthy. Or look

up their phone number. Don’t call a

number they gave you or the number

from your caller ID.

Resist the pressure to act immediately.

Legitimate businesses will give you time

to make a decision. Anyone who

pressures you to pay or give them your

personal information is a scammer.

Know how scammers tell you to pay.

Never pay someone who insists you pay

with a gift card or by using money

transfer service. And never deposit a

check and send money back to someone.

Stop and talk to someone you trust.

Before you do anything else, tell someone—

a friend, a family member, a neighbor—

what happened. Talking about it could help

you realize it’s a scam.

Block unwanted calls and text messages.

Report Scams to the FTC If you were scammed or think you saw a

scam, report it to the Federal Trade

Commission.

ReportFraud.ftc.gov

Four Signs That

It’s a Scam

1. Scammers PRETEND to be

from an organization you know.

Scammers often pretend to be contacting

you on behalf of the government. They

might use a real name, like the Social Se-

curity Administration, the IRS, or Medi-

care, or make up a name that sounds offi-

cial. Some pretend to be from a business

you know, like a utility company, a tech

company, or even a charity asking for

donations.

They use technology to

change the phone number

that appears on your caller

ID. So the name and number

you see might not be real.

2. Scammers say there’s a

PROBLEM or a PRIZE.

They might say you’re in trouble with the

government, or you owe money, or

someone in your family had an emergen-

cy, or that there’s a virus on your comput-

er.

Some scammers say there’s a problem

with one of your accounts that you need

to verify some information.

Others will lie and say you

won money in a lottery or

sweepstakes but have to pay

fee to get it.

3. Scammers PRESSURE you to act

immediately.

Scammers want you to act before you

have time to think. If you’re on the

phone, they might tell you not to hang up

so you can’t check out their story. They

might threaten to arrest you, sue you,

take away your driver’s or business li-

cense, or deport you. They might say your

computer is about to be corrupted.

4. Scammers tell you to PAY in a

specific way.

They often insist that you pay by sending

money through a money transfer compa-

ny or by putting money on a gift card and

then giving them the number on the back.

Some will send you a check (that will later

turn out to be fake), tell you to deposit it

and then send them money.
