How to avoid foodborne illness
SUMMARY: To prevent foodborne illnesses during Thanksgiving, remember five key safety tips. First, do not wash the turkey to avoid bacteria spread; instead, ensure it’s cooked to at least 165°F. For thawing, use the refrigerator, cold water, or microwave methods. Always use a meat thermometer to check the turkey’s temperature in three places. Avoid storing food outside as it can attract animals or enter the danger zone temperature-wise. Lastly, store turkey leftovers in the refrigerator to consume within four days or freeze them for use within four months for optimal quality. Contact food safety authorities for more advice.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.
