Abstract
Food is always an important part of holiday festivities, but holiday meals can take a turn for the worse if food safety is not properly practiced when preparing and cooking the food. The food you serve your family and friends can make them ill if your turkey, ham, or home-prepared meat products are not properly handled. The good news is that, by practicing basic food safety measures, you can help prevent foodborne illness over the holiday season. This factsheet provides information about safe food practices for the holidays.
