Start with safe food preparation

FoodSafety.gov organizes safe preparation around four steps: clean, separate, cook and chill. Plan how to handle raw ingredients, avoid cross-contamination, check cooking temperatures and store leftovers safely. Use the source guidance for the particular food and situation; a nutrition calculator cannot assess food safety.
