Food Safety Guidelines for Wild Foods Cook-Off

  • Make sure you wash your hands before and after every different task in the kitchen
  • Use separate equipment for raw and ready-to -eat foods to avoid cross contamination
  • Cook foods to the correct temperature: Remember poultry is anything with wings! See the chart below!
  • That foods correctly- in the refrigerator, under cool running water, in the microwave or part of the cooking process.
  • Refrigerate foods promptly after cooking- do not let foods sit at room temperature before the cook-off because bacteria will start to grow quickly!
  • Bring foods at the temperature that they should be served- we will not have reheating capabilities.
