Your provider will test a sample of your urine. There are also home tests available at your local drugstore. Home tests contain specially treated plastic strips that you hold in a sample of your urine. If the end of the strip changes color, you may have a urinary tract infection.
Unrefrigerated Ground Beef. Raw ground beef can harbor harmful bacteria that multiply rapidly when the meat's temperature is between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. For safety and to maintain freshness, never leave ground beef at room temperature for more than two hours. If the ambient temperature is above 90 F, do not leave it out for more than one hour. These food safety guidelines apply to both raw and cooked ground beef.
While properly cooking and then eating food that had stayed frozen at 0Â°F for years won't necessarily get you sick, you probably won't like how it tastes. So the USDA recommends tossing uncooked roasts, steaks and chops after a year in the freezer, and uncooked ground meat after just 4 months. And frozen cooked meat should go after 3 months. While expired frozen meat may look all right to eat, the safest bet is to mark an expiration date on the meats to keep yourself and carnivores in your family safe from food-borne illnesses.
