Fortunately, this useful infographic by SafeFood guides you through the meat preparation process all the way from purchasing a good piece of meat in the store to cleaning up after your food is prepared. While much of the information here is common sense -like using or freezing meat by its use-by date, many people don’t know some of these important meat preparation safety measures -for example, never store your raw meat above ready-to-eat foods because the juice could leak and contaminate your other food. Additionally, if you’re cooking something large, like a whole turkey, make sure to check the meat in multiple places to ensure it is cooked all the way through, not just in certain areas.
