There are millions of people will be infected with one or several food-borne disease every year, precisely because they never find out whether the foods they eat can lead to illness. General speaking, these diseases can be prevented and avoided if people handle the safe food in right circumstances. Now let’s study the basic knowledge on food safety by following the issues and tips.

Frozen food should be stored at low temperature! The foods like frozen salad, luncheon meat, daily foods and others must be stored at below 4 ℃. If store them at room temperature, the bacteria can easily grow to the level of leading to disease.

People had better wash hands before and after handling food with soap and warm water! Our hands have a lot of bacteria at any time, if we transfer these bacteria to the surface of foods, so that the bacteria will be more comfortable to growth. In addition, of course, there are a lot of bacteria above the foods, especially for those rotting food. Don’t let the bacteria on the surface of food stick to your hands, because they are likely to your mouth or other foods surface through your hands.
