Published on the website of the French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty on November 18, 2024
Introduction
Poultry is a versatile and nutritious meat that can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes. However, it is important to choose poultry that is of good quality to ensure that it is safe and healthy to eat. Here are some tips on how to buy quality poultry:
1. Look for the Label Rouge or other quality labels.
The Label Rouge is a French quality label that guarantees that poultry has been raised to high standards of welfare and quality. Other quality labels, such as the USDA Grade A label in the United States, can also indicate that poultry has been raised to high standards.
2. Choose poultry that is free from bruises or other damage.
Bruises or other damage can indicate that the poultry has been mistreated or injured. This can make the poultry more susceptible to bacteria and other pathogens.
3. Make sure the poultry is well-refrigerated.
Poultry should be refrigerated at all times to prevent the growth of bacteria. If poultry is not properly refrigerated, it can become unsafe to eat.
4. Cook poultry to the proper temperature.
Poultry should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit to kill any bacteria that may be present.
5. Store cooked poultry properly.
Cooked poultry should be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you need to store cooked poultry for longer, you can freeze it for up to two months.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that you are buying and eating quality poultry.
