DO'S AND DONT'S FOR PORK:

Pork is referred to in advertising campaigns as "the other white meat." Sometimes it can be leaner than chicken, and it's also one of the few meats that you can eat at every meal...

* Don't buy pork if the fat is a yellow color. Be sure the meat is pale pink with a small amount of marbling.

* If you bring pork to an internal temperature of 160 degrees, it can be safely consumed.

* To extend pork's shelf life, transfer the meat from the store packaging to a plastic bag and mark the purchase date on the bag. Also, keep it in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
