As two thirds of households in the UK are choosing to have roast turkey for dinner, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) is offering the public tips on how to safely prepare turkey at home.
Dr Kevin Hargin, Head, Foodborne Disease Control at the Food Standards Agency, said: “I know that Christmas can be a stressful time of year for some people, especially when cooking for a crowd. Which is why this year we have put together the ‘Let’s talk turkey’ guide, which offers some helpful tips on how to store, prepare and cook your turkey, and safely handle leftovers to ensure that you keep your loved ones safe from food poisoning this Christmas.”
