2- Food safety in simple terms means that whatever
we eat is safe to consume. This includes how we
clean, prepare, cook and even store the foods we
eat. According to the Centre for Disease Control
and Preventions website, there are four steps to
food safety. Clean, separate, cook and chill.
3Clean wash your hands and surfaces often.
Germs get comfy on multiple surfaces quite
quickly, to ensure they get stopped in their
tracks, wash your hands, surfaces and food items
thoroughly.
4Separate dont cross-contaminate.
- The golden rule is to always keep raw meats
separate from any other food item. This includes
your trolley when shopping, in the refrigerator
and your cutting boards.
5Cook to the right temperature.
- Different food is cooked safely at different
temperatures, the internal temperature gets high
enough to kill all of the germs that could make
you ill. The internal temperature can be measured
with a food thermometer. Here are a few temps to
look out forPoultry cooked at 74?C - Whole cuts of beef, pork and lamb cooked at
63?C - Fish cooked at 63?C
- Ground meat 71?C
6Chill refrigerate as soon as possible.
Freezing and thawing food is a major food safety
component. Freeze perishable foods as soon as you
can, divide them into portions that you will use
at a given time, and know when to throw food out.
Thawing food safely means not just leaving it in
a sink or on a countertop, thaw food in the
refrigerator, in the cold water, or by using the
defrost function on your microwave.
