Frequently asked questions
Food hygiene refers to the practices that prevent food contamination and ensure it is safe to eat, from storage and preparation to cooking and serving.
Washing hands removes dirt, bacteria, and viruses that could spread to food and cause illness.
Raw and cooked foods should be stored separately, with raw meat kept below cooked food in the fridge to prevent cross-contamination.
The danger zone is between 5°C and 63°C, where bacteria grow quickly. Food should be kept outside this range to stay safe.
