Food Safety Tips & Customer Pledge
Safety Tips
Some helpful tips to keep your food safe:
- Your refrigerator temperature should be at 40° F or below.
- Keep your freezer temperature below 0° F.
- Keep your refrigerator and freezer no more than 75% full to run efficiently. Leave room for air to circulate.
Cook foods to their proper internal temperature:
- 145° F – Beef, lamb & veal steaks & roasts, medium rare
- 145° F – Fish
- 160° F Ground beef, pork, veal & lamb, pork chops, ribs and anything with egg.
- 165° F Ground turkey and chicken, stuffing and casseroles. Any leftovers.
- 170° F – Chicken & turkey breasts.
- 180° F – chicken & turkey, whole bird, legs, thighs & wings
Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. The food temperature danger zone is between 41° F and 141° F. Bacteria grows rapidly between these temperatures.
Discard any food left out at room temperature for more than two hours, one hour if the temperature was above 90° F.
Place leftovers into shallow containers and immediately put in the refrigerator or freezer for rapid cooling.
Reheat any leftovers to an internal temperature of 165° F.
