How can I safely handle meat in the kitchen?

Handling Meat in the Kitchen

Children are at a much higher risk for bacterial infections such as E.coli. Therefore it is vital to take extra precautions in kitchen safety and sanitation, especially when it comes to handling meat. Don't store raw fish in your refrigerator for more than 24 hours. Raw poultry or ground beef will keep for 1-2 days, while raw red meat will keep for 3-5 days. Be sure to clean up any leaks of meat juice from countertops and your hands. Never place cooked meat on a plate used for raw meat. Cook all meat and poultry at a minimum oven temperature of 325°F.
