Food prepping

ALWAYS

Wash your hands and clean worktops and utensils well – especially before you touch raw meat, go to the toilet, touch pets or touch the bin.

Dry your hands properly - if they’re wet they’ll spread bacteria more easily.

Don’t wash raw meat before cooking it. You could splash bacteria onto worktops and utensils. YUK!!!!!

Change dish cloths and tea towels regularly - else you could be growing gross bacteria.

CHECK

That all raw meat and fish are kept away from ready-to-eat foods.

The labels on packets of food, and store and cook foods according to the instructions.

That you eat all food by the ‘use by’ date - you can use food that is past a 'best before' date but they may not taste as nice.
