Food Safety

Food safety refers to various measures that are taken to prevent foodborne illnesses, which are often caused by bacteria, viruses, molds, or parasites in contaminated food. To minimize your risk of food poisoning, focus on these four steps: clean, separate, cook, and chill. Proper food handling, preparation, and storage techniques all play a critical role in maintaining food safety.[1][2]
