Nothing can ruin memory of a delicious meal faster than a case of food poisoning.

The U.S. Food Safety Administration suggests how to help prevent illness from salmonella contamination:

• Don’t eat foods at higher risk for salmonella contamination, such as undercooked eggs, raw eggs, undercooked meat or poultry, or unpasteurized milk.
• Properly refrigerate all food before cooking. Make sure food is cooked thoroughly and to the appropriate internal temperature,
• Thoroughly clean kitchen surfaces.
• Wash hands with soap and water before preparing food.
• Keep ready-to-eat and cooked foods separate from each other.
• Do not allow dishes or utensils that were used for raw food to touch cooked food.
• Refrigerate foods promptly after cooking.
