Transcript:Eighty million people get sick from food poisoning each year. Those most at risk? Children! Food poisoning is usually mild, but in some people, dehydration, kidney failure and even death can result. Avoid feeding your children contaminated foods with these tips. Set the temperature of your refrigerator to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below, and your freezer to zero. When you thaw frozen meats, be sure you do so in the fridge—don’t leave them out to speed the process! As you prepare foods, consider throwing away that old wooden cutting board and investing in a plastic one. That’s because bacteria can get trapped in a wooden board’s many grooves. Also, avoid giving your kids unpasteurized milk or fruit juices, like apple cider. And, of course, cook meat and eggs thoroughly before eating them. Red meats should reach 160 degrees, while chicken should be heated to 180 degrees. As a parent, you have plenty to worry about. These tricks help eliminate food poisoning from the list!
