The first step is to contact your local health department and inquire about any potential food contamination issues in the area. Your local health department will be able to provide you with up-to-date information on possible contamination and assist you in taking action to protect the public. In addition, it is important to check out other resources that can provide more detailed information such as USDA Meat & Poultry Hotlines (1-800-572-1234) or the CDC's Safe Food Handling Hotline (1-800-831-7645). Finally, if you are specifically looking for action steps on how to take preventive measures against food borne illness, then referencing websites such as the ones from the FDA are a great resource. They go over a step by step guide on how to ensure proper kitchen safety practices and what sanitation methods need to be taken when preparing meals for others.
