When you get to Thanksgiving dinner this week, head straight to the kitchen and double check the meat thermometer on the turkey. I’m sure whoever’s doing the cooking won’t be offended.
According to a new survey, 22% of people say they’ve gotten FOOD POISONING from a holiday meal.
And these might be some of the reasons why . . .
1. 62% of Americans rinse raw turkey in the kitchen sink, which can splatter germs up to three feet away . . . all over the counters and other cooking surfaces.
2. 26% of people only wash their hands BEFORE they make food . . . which can lead to cross-contamination when they’re cooking different things.
3. And 26% of people leave the turkey out for three or more hours before they put it in the fridge for leftovers . . . bacteria can start growing at the two-hour mark.
Anyway, good luck not getting sick on Thursday.
