Right now, your hands could be carrying germs – thousands of them.
They are invisible, and can easily spread onto food, making you and your loved ones ill.
Hand Washing
Stop the invasion before it is too late. Keep yourself and your kitchen clean by washing and drying your hands thoroughly:
- before preparing food
- after touching raw food, especially meat
- after going to the toilet
Harmful germs spread more easily on damp hands. Keep you and your family safe by drying washed hands thoroughly.
Surfaces and Equipment
Make sure you keep worktops, chopping boards and utensils clean. If they have been touched by raw meat, poultry or eggs, you will need to wash them thoroughly.
Do not forget to change dish cloths and tea towels regularly. They may look clean, but they are the perfect place for germs to breed. Do not let the germs win.
The Food Standards Agency's latest campaign GermWatch, with its star character Grubeye highlights the importance of food safety and hygiene in the home and promotes the 4 Cs.
