USA -CDC – Food Safety for Buffets and Parties

Posted on January 26, 2023 by | Leave a comment

CDC

What You Need to Know

  • Separate raw meat, chicken and other poultry, seafood, and eggs from ready-to-eat foods.
  • Use a food thermometer to make sure foods are cooked to a temperature hot enough to kill germs.
  • Germs that can make you sick grow quickly when food is in the “Danger Zone,” between 40°F and 140°F.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking. Divide leftovers into smaller portions to cool faster.

Gathering friends and family is fun, but beware of uninvited party guests. Foodborne germs can crash your buffet and make people sick with food poisoning. When cooking, preparing, or serving food for large groups, it’s important to keep food safe. Follow these steps to keep foodborne germs from spoiling your party.
