Salmonella, the name of a group of bacteria, is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in the United States. Here are some easy ways to avoid getting sick with salmonella: • Keep food properly refrigerated before cooking. • Wash hands with soap and water before handling food. • Clean surfaces before preparing food on them. • Cook foods to a safe internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer to make sure foods are cooked to a safe temperature. • Chill foods promptly after serving and when transporting from one place to another. • Avoid eating high-risk foods, including raw or lightly cooked eggs, undercooked ground beef or poultry, and unpasteurized milk products. • Wash your hand after contact with animals, their food or treats, or their living environment.
