As the head of Canasus City and Philadelphia Eagles prepare for their super bowl remat at New Orleans on Sunday, fans are gearing up for football, a night of food, and – if the recent history is no sign – Taylor Swift of Many.
Whether you are watching for the game, advertisements, or simply to see if the Swift heads make another appearance to support the travis cail, food security should also be part of your game plan.
The super bowl is one of the days of the biggest food consumption of Sunday, in which an estimated 1.45 billion chicken wings are expected to be eaten across the country. This is sufficient to fill every seat in all 30 NFL stadiums with about 700 wings. But before you dig in those wings-or make sure to follow the major food safety rules to avoid getting upset with any other game-day favorite.
Avoid ‘Danger Zone’
Whether you are serving a takeout or home-cake food, the bad items should not sit at room temperature for more than two hours. The USDA has warned that the food was abandoned in “Danger Zone” (40 ° F to 140 ° F), which could allow bacteria to be multiplied rapidly, increasing the risk of food -borne disease. To keep your team safe:
- Place 140 degrees F or above in a warming tray, oven, or slow cooker.
- Keep cold foods 40 degrees F or below by placing dishes on ice or serving.
- If you plan to keep all the games for a long time, bring fresh servings on Haftime.
Chicken wings and safe temple for more
Chicken Wings are a super bowl staple, but undercurcated poultry is a common criminal of foodborn disease. Ensure that your wings hit the safe interior temperature of 165 ° F using a food thermometer – checking several wings to confirm the entire batch.
Other Game-Day favorite have its own safe cooking temperature:
- Ground Meat: 160 ° F
- Perfect Meat (beef, pork, lamb): 145 ° F with three minutes of rest before serving
- Stir and Caserrols: 165 ° F
Haftime: Clean and Store left
When the Haftime show stops, it is also the right time to start packing food. Store the remaining in shallow containers and cool them immediately. If the food has been left for more than two hours, it is time to throw it out.
As Swifties and Football fans are united for large games, do not ignore your celebration to a foodbourne disease. Whether you are cheering for cails and chiefs, for the Eagles Revenge Tour, or just for the Haftime performance of the Kendrick Lamor, a little food safety appearance will ensure that your party is a win.
