Food safety

Use a food thermometer: cook fish to 145°F, and chicken and turkey (including ground turkey) to 165°F. Cook eggs until firm. Refrigerate cooked food within 2 hours and eat it within 3 to 4 days; reheat it to 165°F. Wash produce, and rinse canned beans unless the recipe says otherwise. Times are estimates, so use the temperature and the visual cues. Check the labels for allergens in the products you buy.
