Come on guys, that #turkey totally needs a shower and an opportunity to spray raw poultry juice all over your counters. I mean, sure, it won't actually kill bacteria... or do anything useful to speak of... except make me happy! #thanksgiving #foodsafety https://t.co/SLMb7pzbpb

Don't wash your Thanksgiving turkey, food safety experts warn https://t.co/ayEHc5MNje

[Salmonella @SalmonellaOR]

Sure, you could thaw that #turkey the "right" way over 1-6 days in the fridge or 2-12 hours in cold water. Or you could thaw it the way I prefer: on the counter. Who doesn't love a round of the #Thanksgiving classic: "Am I going to get food poisoning or not?" #ThanksgivingWeek

Thanksgiving is just 3 days away! Which means its time to start thinking about how you're going to thaw your turkey in time for dinner on Thursday. Click the link to read the 3 ways to safely thaw that turkey: https://t.co/8fUcjtatij

Did someone say spices, because I love raw spices! In fact, between 2006 and 2009, 7% of spices tested by the @US_FDA came back positive for salmonella. Adding a little spice to the dishes you're not going to cook? Count me in! https://t.co/EsSor3KfT6

Thawing your #turkey in the fridge? I love it when people put it on the top shelf. Why put it on the bottom where the juice isn't able drip down and marinate with all your other foods? #ThisIsHowYouGetSalmonella #TurkeyDay #foodsafety https://t.co/nJhkqHAsfy

I hope you're packing all your #Thanksgiving dishes in a lukewarm cooler and not one properly regulated to be below 40F. As they say: Food poisoning is a dish best served lukewarm. #foodsafety https://t.co/XmxzphkbDV

Now is the time to make preparations for winter driving. This is especially important if you will be traveling next week between Mon, Nov 25th and the following weekend. Stay tuned for further details. #orwx #cawx #wfomfr #Thanksgiving

Don't think I'm a big deal? The @CDCgov estimates that more than 400,000 Americans get sick every year from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant foodborne bacteria. #foodsafety #TheMoreYouKnow #Thanksgiving2019

That's right, I'm not the only thing you should watch out for this holiday season. #Thanksgiving #FireSafety https://t.co/4H4iEkTnz6

[SERVPRO of Southeast Portland @SeServpro]

According to the National #Fire Protection Association, fire departments responded to about 1,570 home cooking fires on #Thanksgiving in 2016, the peak day for such #fires. The No. 1 reason? Unattended cooking.

I hope you start with the refrigerated items as you're picking up your #Thanksgiving groceries this week. I love it when people wheel a tepid turkey around the store for an hour or two. #ThisIsHowYouGetSalmonella #foodsafety https://t.co/nDdcdeyHE0

Go ahead, eat the cookie dough. #YOLO #FoodSafety

Trust me, you don't want to invite me to your #Thanksgiving get-together. #FoodSafety https://t.co/egEYoYw7nu

I hate to break it to you but cutting raw eggs from your dough or batter doesn't mean I'm not present. I've also been found in raw flour, unpasteurized dairy products and nuts. #foodsafety #baking

[Salmonella @SalmonellaOR]

If you think that turkey takes forever to bake, just imagine how you'll feel when I stick around for 4-7 days. #foodsafety #Thanksgiving

[Salmonella @SalmonellaOR]

Ah man! Who has time to dig up a thermometer w/an actual dial or digital screen to ensure that the areas that take the longest to cook have reached an internal temperature of 165F? I'd rather trust the magical red turkey button. #Thanksgiving #foodsafety https://t.co/LQkfPvHejL

[USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service @USDAFoodSafety]

Your #Thanksgiving turkey isn’t done until it's reached a minimum internal temperature of 165°F in 3 spots:
(1) thickest part of the breast
(2) innermost part of the wing
(3) innermost part of the thigh

@thevelvetsun @BlairImani Are those refrigerated week old leftovers? Because I love refrigerated leftovers that are more than 4 days old. #Thanksgiving #FoodSafety

[Salmonella @SalmonellaOR]

@Katie__Linder Count me in on the #Thanksgiving food. I'll just be over here waiting for my invitation via overstuffed refrigerators w/poor circulation, turkeys rinsed in kitchen sinks and stuffing cooked inside the bird. #FoodSafety
