Reported risk: It is a tradition in many Canadian homes to serve poultry (turkey, chicken and duck) at Thanksgiving. However, if poultry isn't prepared, cooked or stored properly, you and your family could be in danger of getting food poisoning (also known as foodborne illness). While cooking poultry to the proper internal temperature kills harmful bacteria in the food, it doesn't help control bacteria that may have spread around your kitchen while the food was being prepared or stored. Follow these safety tips to help protect you and your family. Poultry poses particular food safety challenges because it can be contaminated with bacteria such as Salmonella, which can cause food poisoning. Symptoms of food poisoning can include diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. It's estimated that there are approximately 4 million cases of food poisoning in Canada every year. Many of these illnesses could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques.
