Is it "Ready to
Eat"?
Not all prepared convenience foods are ready to be eaten
without a cooking kill step.
Reading the product label should tell you if it's
"heat and eat" or requires cooking to a particular safe internal
temperature to be safe to eat. Read carefully - the label may say the
product contains uncooked ingredients and that it must be cooked in a
conventional oven to a safe internal temperature.

package label keeps your food safe. This video is from The Partnership for Food
Safety Education.
