BASIC FOOD SAFETY

Food safety is the important things of to describe food handling, preparation, and the
storage of the food in ways that foodborne illness. Food can be transmitted from a person to a
person as well as servers as the growth medium of the bacteria that can cause of the food
poisoning. Some things can be contribute to foodborne illness are improper hand washing,
cross-contamination, storage of the food, cooking temperature and the contamination of the
food by the animals waste. Sometimes food poisoning can cause serious illness and even death.
Most of the people assume that food poisoning comes from the restaurants, cafes, and also
from the food outlets, but also just according to get ill from the food prepared at home. So,
food poisoning can come from the various types of the places. There are ten types to reduce
the risk of the food poisoning at home. There are wash hands properly, wash worktops, wash
dishcloths, use separate chopping boards, keep raw meat separate, store meat on the bottom
shelf, cook meat thoroughly, keeping food cold, cool leftovers quickly, and the last one is
respect use by dates.

The food safety is the extreme importance of the people health and the only way for to
prevent the incoming of the bacteria. If did not follow of the guidelines of the food safety
hazards, people can get sick from the eating food that was not handle properly and it can even
lead to death. That why food safety is very important for human health as well as all those that
are eating the same food. Food safety involves separation of cooked and raw food, keeping
food clean cooking thoroughly, keeping the food in the safe temperatures and using safe water
and raw materials. Without good hygiene and sanitary condition, germs and diseases would
spread quickly.

There are many important steps to take ensure the food facilities and the product is
properly stored. This include the number routines that should be follow to avoid the potentially
serves the health hazards. All potentially hazardous, ready to eat food stored in refrigeration
should be discarded if not used within seven days of preparation. All of the potentially
hazardous, ready to eat food should need to be labeled with the date it should be sold,
consumed or discarded. Discard of the any food that has passed its use by the date and
produced should not be wash prior to storage. Improper handling of the raw food and meat,
poultry, and also the seafood can create the environment for cross-contamination. Cross-
contamination is the physical movement or transfer of the harmful bacteria from one person,
object or the place to another. Preventing the cross-contamination is a key factor in preventing
the foodborne illness. Separate raw meat, poultry, and the seafood from the other food and
place these foods in the plastic bags for to prevent the juices from dripping on to the other
foods. Raw juices often contain the harmful bacteria. That why pack the raw meat and the
seafood properly and stored it in the correct temperature. Harmful bacteria can spread
throughout the kitchen and get on to the cutting board, knife and so on. For to prevent this,
wash all of the material properly and wash hand after handling raw meat and the food. If
possible, use one cutting board for fresh produce and a separate one use for the raw meat,
poultry, seafood and also using a clean plate and then never place cooked food back on the
same plate or the cutting board that previously raw food. As a result, bacteria can be spread to
eat the food and also other sources of the surfaces throughout the food and the kitchen. So all
of the people need to be take care of the food safety and need to clean properly all of the food
and also any place of the kitchen. Keeping uncooked meat, poultry, and the seafood away from
ready to eat of the foods like the vegetables, fruits and the cold cuts helps prevent pathogens
and the other bacteria from contaminating the ready to eat foods.

The key to safe cooking is the proper internal temperature to kill the organisms that might
make sick. Food should be stored in a refrigerator of a cooler. When cooking, thoroughly cook
raw meat and the poultry to destroy the bacteria and using the thermometer to measure the
internal temperature of the meat can be used to ensure that it is cooked sufficiently to kill the
bacteria. Use a thermometer to check temperature. The way for to know food has been cooked
to a safe internal temperature is using the food thermometer. Basically, the thermometers are
easy to use it for all of the people. The research of the thermometer show that while people are
cooking by the color is frequently done and it can be misleading. The correct way to using the
right thermometers are provides confidence that the foods are adequately cooked, get the
delicious meal, resulting a safe and know the food cook ready or not. So the thermometers are
also the best way for to safe the food and gave a delicious food. Cook food thoroughly and
check that it is piping hot all the way through. And also make sure that poultry, pork, beef,
burgers and sausages are cooked until steaming hot and with no pink meat inside. The other
one is don’t eat food that’s past its use-by date label. These are based on the scientific tests
that show quickly harmful bugs can develop in the packaged food.

The next way is using the safe water system and the proper hand washing dramatically to
reduce the risk of the diarrhoeal diseases and the food poisoning. Water helps the human body
clean out of the bad stuff and also essential for keeping human health. If people are don’t drink
the require amount of the water every day, all of the people body can becomes weak and also
easily could attack diseases of the bacteria. So all of the people need to take a lot of water
every day for their health and taking a lot of water reduces tiredness and improves the
attention in participants. If don’t take unsafe water, people can get dangerous diseases and can
occur illness.
 The way for to safe the food is washing hands properly every time after visit a toilet,
touching animals including pets, after cleaning up rubbish or cleaning a child, before eating, and
after coughing or sneezing. Wash the hands thoroughly with soaps and hot water and dry them
before handling food, after handling the raw foods including the meat, fish, vegetables, and
eggs.

This all types are for to help the human health and the food safety. In order for hands to
be clean, all of the people must need to be followed the guidelines of the proper hand washing
procedures. If follow this types of washing procedures, can be safe from the bacteria of the
diseases and also cannot occur illness. So all of the people must follow the guidelines of the
food safety and this all potential hazards are the best way for to prevent food borne illness. So
food safety is the important part of the staying healthy. As well as wash dishcloths and the tea
towels regularly and let them dry before using again. Dirty damp clothes are the perfect place
for to attack the bacteria. So people must follow this kind of procedures and also need to be
careful from the incoming of bacteria.
