Description

Australians warned: Thawing meat incorrectly can lead to food poisoning. The New South Wales Food Authority advises against leaving raw red meat or poultry on the kitchen bench to thaw, as it can carry harmful bacteria like salmonella and E. coli. The temperature danger zone between five and sixty degrees Celsius allows bacteria to multiply and produce heat-resistant spores. The only safe ways to thaw frozen raw meat are in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave. Always remember to thaw meat safely to prevent food poisoning.
