It is important when handling and preparing food to do
it safely.
This will make sure your food is not dangerous to eat.
Precautions include making sure hot food is properly cooked and
piping hot all the way through to the centre.
You should always wash you hands before handling food, and again
after you touch raw meat.
Separate chopping boards or preparation areas should be used for
vegetables, cooked meat and raw meat.
Follow the clean as you go method to make sure your food
preparation area is kept free from clutter.
Use suitable food friendly anti-bacterial products on food
preparation surfaces to help reduce the risk of bacteria.
