Notes
- Some packaged foods contain manufacturer’s instructions for cooking. These instructions must be followed before using the product, especially before adding them to ready-to-eat (RTE) food. Frozen vegetables are an example. They frequently contain cooking instructions from the manufacturer and are often intended for use only after cooking. It is especially important to follow these instructions when using the frozen vegetables to make RTE foods, such as salads. If the vegetables contain a pathogen and the food is not cooked, the pathogen could multiply and cause foodborne illness.
