Keeping your food safe We need to take special care when preparing, cooking and storing food during the warmer months.
Here are some simple tips to keep your family safe this summer:
• Ensure hands are washed thoroughly before and after handling food. • Keep food very cold or very hot as bacteria thrive in warm
conditions, leading to foodborne illnesses.• Ensure that all food remains covered and cool until ready to cook or
eat. Chilly bins and bags work well to keep chilled food cold. Use a frozen chilly pad to keep things cool for extended periods.
• Keep food sealed in air-tight containers or covered with Glad Wrap to avoid mixing raw and cooked food.
• Throw away any perishable food that’s been left at room temperature for more than two hours.
