These are usually from poor temperature controls of foods containing egg or meat products... Either keep food cold or hot and you will reduce the risk of a problem. it's the mid-ranges that cause the most bacteria growth... When you marinate any meat or poultry, make sure you leave it in the refrigerator while it is marinating... Never place barbecued meats of any type on the same plate that held the raw meat. This is one of the most common causes of food poisoning when barbecuing. Also, never continue to use the same utensils that touched the raw meat... Use a fresh dish towel after you clean up from handling meats or poultry, then throw it in the wash and don't leave it sit our for further use... One study showed that only one out of four people wash their cutting boards after cutting or preparing raw meats and poultry..... Follow and few simple and easy safety rules and have a GREAT Summer! email: relax@12franklinstreet.com Phone: 802-247-6672   Vist beautiful Brandon
