Summer Grilling Food Safety Tips for Grill Masters and Rookies

Families will once again commemorate Memorial Day with COVID-19 in mind. Keep your celebrations safe with CDC guidelines we've become accustomed to this past year.

We also have some important food safety tips for both first-time and experienced grill masters.

Know if Your Frozen Food is Raw

Grillers have the responsibility of delivering a safe and tasty meal. The convenience of ready to cook beef patties and chicken cutlets helps the process.

One important tip: know if your frozen food is raw. 

Although frozen products may appear to be pre-cooked or browned, they need to be handled and prepared as raw food and cooked thoroughly. Frozen products labeled as "Cook and Serve," "Ready to Cook" and "Oven Ready" must be cooked. Always use a food thermometer to check if your meal has reached a safe internal temperature:

  • Beef, pork, lamb and veal (steaks, roasts and chops): 145 F with a three-minute rest time.
  • Ground meats (beef, pork, lamb and veal): 160 F.
  • Poultry (whole or ground): 165 F.
