Holiday Hotlines – 2010
When you think “Thanksgiving”, what comes to mind? Turkey! According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), more than 45 million turkeys are cooked and eaten in the United States at Thanksgiving. That number represents one sixth of all the turkeys sold in the U.S. each year.
Several companies and the USDA have established toll free hotlines to help answer consumer questions during the busy holiday season. The University of Wisconsin-Extension has food safety information available at your fingertips 24/7 at www.foodsafety.wisc.edu. The A-Z index links to topics on preparing and serving your holiday meal.
