Avoid E. Coli poisoning
According to the FSIS, it is important to properly prepare fresh and frozen raw beef products to avoid becoming ill. Ground beef should always be cooked to an internal temperature of a least 160 F and checked with a food thermometer.
The CDC likewise suggests safe food handling practices, such as washing hands with water and soap before and after handling food, using the bathroom and having contact with animals and their environments. Raw meat or cooked foods should not be allowed to sit at room temperature for more than two hours and surfaces that have come in contact with them should be wiped down before further use.
Never place or store cooked food alongside raw meat or poultry and be sure to wash fruits and vegetables before use.
