Is This The Most Dangerous Food at the Thanksgiving Table? 

Food scientists warn that Thanksgiving tables could be loaded with illness and bacteria. 

The reason is that food is being mishandled or left out too long.   

The most dangerous food on your Thanksgiving table is the turkey.   

One food scientist told HuffPost, “It’s the centerpiece of most holiday tables, it’s often handled in large quantities by people who only cook it once or twice a year, and there are several points in the process where things can easily go wrong.”

Thawing, washing, stuffing, and cooking the turkey could cause food safety mishaps. 

Leaving the bird out too long invites bacteria. Experts say it’s best to store turkey in the refrigerator two hours after serving to avoid any food-bourne illness.
