Meat & Poultry

Meat and poultry require careful handling and storage to prevent foodborne illness. These protein sources are highly perishable and can harbor harmful bacteria if not stored or handled correctly. Understanding expiration dates, proper storage temperatures, and signs of spoilage is crucial for food safety.

Fresh meat and poultry should be stored in the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below and used within a few days of purchase. Freezing extends shelf life significantly, but proper packaging is essential to prevent freezer burn. Cooked meats have different storage requirements than raw meats, and it's important to follow safe handling practices throughout preparation and storage.

Our database provides detailed information about various types of meat and poultry, including beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and other varieties.
