Tips for preventing E. coli and Salmonella infection

Today Show food reporter and MSNBC columnist Phil Lempert recently published an article about preventing E. coli and Salmonella infections. 

Top tips to prevent salmonella and E. coli:

• Always wash hands, dishes, utensils and counter surfaces often while preparing and cooking all foods
• When preparing or cooking raw meats, poultry or other foods, clean surfaces and hands with hot soapy water and use paper towels and discard immediately
• Never use the same plate, tray or utensils for the cooked meat that you use for the raw meat
• Separate raw meat, poultry, and seafood from other foods in your refrigerator
• Always cook all foods thoroughly. Meats, poultry, pork and especially ground meats, should be cooked until the juices run absolutely clear.
