he safe food handling is extremely important to avoid the disease causing germs, such as Salmonella and E.Coli causing illnesses that can be very devastating even fatal. Food borne illness is usually caused by improper handling, preparation or storage of food. But good hygiene practices before during and after preparation of food can reduce the chances of illness. There are many food handlers’ courses available that teaches you the right and wrong about food handling. Here are a few simple tips about food hygiene and food safety that will be a great help to start with:
Make sure that you buy food only from well known and reputed source. All the packaging should be original and not tampered. Check the expiry dates before buying any food item.
Always ensure that all serving counters, knives and slicing machines should be clean.
Fridge, freezers and chillers should be set at appropriate temperatures.
Prevent bacteria from entering into the food.
Wash your hands before handling food. Wash your hands after blowing your nose, touching your face, touching pets, changing diapers and going to the bathroom.
Dry your hands on paper towels.
Do not eat, smoke or chew gum while preparing the food.
Cut your salads first and then go onto the foods that are to be cooked.
Use separate cutting boards for meat and vegetables.
Wash the cutting board after each use.
Destroy bacteria on food, utensils and work surfaces.
The best way to destroy all bacteria is to cook your food in a pressure cooker. The combination of increased temperature and increased atmospheric pressure completely sterilize the food.
Cook the food as soon as possible.
Wash all utensils in hot water and detergent and store in clean and dry place.
Clean your microwave walls, ceiling and rotating plates regularly.
If you follow these simple tips of safe food handling you can minimize the contamination of food to some extent but for more details regarding food safety and food hygiene it is recommended to take a food handlers course.
