Safe Food Handling

Safe food handling involves practices that prevent foodborne illnesses. Key principles include keeping hands and surfaces clean, cooking food to the right temperatures, and properly storing food to avoid spoilage. It's important to separate raw and cooked foods to prevent cross-contamination, and to refrigerate perishable items promptly. Always wash fruits and vegetables before consumption. By following these guidelines, you can reduce the risk of contamination and ensure that the food you prepare and consume is safe and healthy. Proper handling practices are essential for protecting yourself and others from food-related health issues.
