Food recalls and offences
Despite three-quarters of people thinking they handle food safely; the majority of food poisoning happens at home.
Correctly preparing, cooking and storing food in the home is the simplest way to avoid food poisoning.
Follow these food safety tips:
- Clean: Always clean your hands, benchtops and utensils properly.
- Separate: Keep raw foods (meat, chicken, seafood and eggs) separate from ready-to-eat food.
- Cook: Cook food until it is steaming hot throughout.
- Chill: Avoid the temperature danger zone – keep cold foods cold, in the fridge or freezer.
