Questions, corrections and press enquiries all come to the same place. We read everything.

Found a Mistake?

Tell us. Every storage time and temperature on this site is taken from USDA guidance, and if something here contradicts the current published figures we want to fix it rather than defend it. Include the page and the figure you think is wrong, and we will check it against the source.

Before You Write About a Specific Piece of Meat

We cannot tell you whether the chicken in your fridge is safe. We have not seen it, smelled it or touched it, and those are the checks that decide. Our guides explain what the signs mean so you can make that call yourself.

If you need an answer now and you are in the United States, the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline is staffed for exactly this and it is free: 1-888-674-6854. If you think you are ill, contact a doctor rather than us.

Send Us a Message

We usually reply within a few working days.

What Else We’re Happy to Hear

  • A guide you wish existed. Most of what we publish started as a question somebody could not find a straight answer to.
  • Advertising and partnership enquiries. Note that we do not sell mentions inside our guides — see our disclaimer.
  • Privacy and data requests. To see, correct or delete anything we hold about you, write here and say so. Details in our privacy policy.
  • Copyright concerns. If you believe something on this site infringes your rights, tell us and we will investigate promptly.
