Most food-borne illness may be prevented by observing strict hygienic measures in buying, preparing, storing and serving food.
Recommended food safety tips include:
STORE right!
• Store perishable fresh fruits and vegetables in a clean refrigerator.
• Refrigerate leftovers as soon as possible or heat them sufficiently.
• Do not over-stuff your refrigerator.
• In your refrigerator, store raw meats, fish, and poultry below ready-to-eat and cooked food to avoid cross-contamination.
• Keep a clean and hygienic kitchen. Wash dish cloths (aprons) and napkins regularly. Store sponge in a place where it can dry after use.
