Fresh chicken is a fantastic source of protein, but proper handling is essential to keep it safe to eat. Here are practical food safety tips for households and food businesses alike.
Keep It Cold
Refrigerate chicken promptly after delivery and use within a few days, or freeze if you won’t cook it soon.
Avoid Cross-Contamination
Use separate cutting boards and utensils for raw chicken, and wash hands and surfaces thoroughly after handling.
Cook to a Safe Temperature
Always cook chicken thoroughly until juices run clear and there is no pink meat near the bone.
Buy From a Trusted Supplier
Sourcing from a supplier with strong biosecurity and hygiene standards — like KFB — is the first step toward food safety.
