Happy Thanksgiving! If you have questions about food safety, cooking the turkey, storing leftovers, or anything else, the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline is open from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm ET today. Experts will answer your questions and guide you through concerns to make sure your dinner is delicious and safe. The number is 1-888-674-6854.
Remember that Ask Karen is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for any questions you may have. You can select topics, ask questions about different products, and find the answer to your question. The USDA page does say that Live Chat is available Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm ET. We don’t know if that includes Thanksgiving!
