The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) wants to help Super Bowl party hosts avoid food safety penalty flags.
According to the Center for Disease Contol (CDC), roughly one-in-six Americans will get sick from food-borne illnesses this weekend, resulting in thousands of hospitalizations and deaths.
The USDA recommends these four simple steps:
- Clean
- Separate
- Cook
- Chill
Experts recommend using thermometers to check internal temperatures for chicken wings and to always cook food to proper temperatures.
