New Food Safety Web Site

Surfing the web for safety information about meat and poultry just got easier. The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service recently launched a new web site designed to make it easier for the public to find this kind of information.

Site users can consult "Karen," the agency's "virtual hotline representative," for consumer information, the agency said in a news release. "Karen" answers questions about preventing foodborne illness and safely storing, preparing, and handling meat, poultry, and egg products. People can still call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline, 1-888-674-6854, to ask questions as well.
