The kitchen area in our household is rarely known as a dangerous place. But there is a hidden enemy there waiting to attack a weakened immune system. Bacteria hiding in raw meats, on counter tops or cutting boards all have the potential of creating illness in individuals with weakened immune system. Improperly stored or prepared foods can harbor bacteria that can be dangerous to individuals.
Food safety is a very important part of preventing food poison in individuals and ensuring that individuals have the common sense and knowledge of how properly to handle and store food is again another preventive technique used to make sure that food safety is implemented in the correct manner
A few simple techniques can help you stay safe in the kitchen. Wash your hands with hot soapy water before and after handling food. Also be sure to wash you hands after using the bathroom or handling a pet. Wash your cutting boards, dishes, and utensils with hot soapy water after preparing food and between each food being prepared. Use disposable paper towels when cleaning your kitchen. If you have to use cloth towels wash them often in hot water. Avoid leaving soiled and damp wash clothes on your kitchen counter or hanging from a towel rack. This allows bacteria to grow and infect anything they come in contact with. Use plastic or other non-porous cutting boards. Porous surfaces such as wood allow bacteria to migrate into the surface and contaminate any food that comes in contact with that surface.
A lot of these techniques are common sense but a lot of households fail to implement thus resulting in mishandling of food and causing illnesses in individuals.
