Describe three ways of reducing the risk of food borne illnesses. Use simple words
1. Wash hands: Make sure to wash your hands with soap and water before preparing or eating food. This helps to remove any harmful bacteria that may be on your hands.
2. Cook food properly: Make sure to cook food thoroughly, especially meat, poultry, and seafood. Use a food thermometer to check that food has reached the recommended temperature to kill any harmful bacteria.
3. Store food properly: Keep raw meat, poultry, and seafood separate from ready-to-eat foods in the fridge. Store leftovers in the fridge within two hours of cooking. Make sure to follow use-by dates on food packaging and throw away any food that looks or smells off.
