Information Update: Reminding Canadians about Turkey Safety this Thanksgiving

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/08/13 -- Issue

Cooked turkey is often served at holiday celebrations in Canada - especially Thanksgiving. Health Canada would like to remind all Canadians of some steps they can take to help ensure their turkey feast is a safe one.

What you should do

Clean, separate, cook and chill! Follow these four food safety steps when preparing your turkey and you can help reduce the risk of getting sick from undercooked turkey and stuffing, and from cross-contamination.

Clean

Separate

Cook

Chill

Turkey poses particular food safety challenges because it can be contaminated with bacteria such as Salmonella, which can cause diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. It's estimated that there are approximately 4 million cases of food-related illnesses in Canada every year. Many of these illnesses could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques.
