Cooking & Kitchen Tips: Food Safety

When buying fish, look for firm, moist fillets and avoid fish that is bruised, yellow, brown or strong-smelling.
Defrost sealed frozen food in the refrigerator on a plate instead of on your kitchen counter to prevent bacteria.
Don't refreeze things once they've been defrosted, like ice cream for consistency and meat or fish for safety.
Don't use marinade that the meat was left in for basting. Instead, make extra beforehand to use when you cook.
