Remember Food Safety This Thanksgiving

Russell County Extension Agent John Stannard says food poisoning and bacteria exposure are sometimes consequences to a wrongly prepared or put-away Thanksgiving meal. He says immediate refrigeration of a cooked turkey following your meal can prevent bacteria exposure.
"You're better off to get it in the refrigerator so you don't have salmonella problems later on," said Stannard. "Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot while you're serving, enjoy that dinner and over the next several days don't let something make you sick with food poisoning."
