A safe and tasty Christmas with safefood
This December, safefood is reminding home cooks to use a meat thermometer when cooking their Christmas turkey: just pop it in the thickest part of the turkey and when it reaches 75 degrees Celsius, it’s both safe and tasty. The two-week campaign includes the memorable “75!” advertising across TV, radio and online as well as free information leaflets for food shoppers, available in more than 250 butcher shops and food retail settings. For the complete guide to cooking your Christmas turkey including an interactive turkey cooking calculator and food shopping guide, visit www.safefood.net/Christmas
