Families risk food poisoning, says board

MOST people are still unsure how to cook a turkey which could have potentially lethal consequences, the Food Safety Promotion Board has warned.

Almost 3,000 cases of food poisoning were reported in Ireland last year, but experts believe this is just the tip of the iceberg.

One in four of all food poisoning outbreaks are poultry-related and the number of such cases increases dramatically around this time of year.
