In our contemporary Society, it is essential for people to maintain good food hygiene and practice food safety because it goes a long way to ensure that whatever we put into our bodies through our mouths are clean, safe and harmless from insects and other germs that can cause sickness or diseases. Food safety are measures that involve the way and manner people handle what they eat be it fruits or fresh foods. From preparation, storage, cooking and all.
As we all know, most of the foods we eat these days are grown with chemicals because the farmers want a quick and bountiful harvest. In other words, both fresh and chemically induced growth of foods can cause contamination to the body system. Most people are victims of food poison because of what they eat, in essence Food safety is not just about cooking your food but it all starts from how and when you purchase the food or products how it was transported, stored, and even served.
There are various ways that poor storage of foods can cause illness because when proper hygiene is not followed. For instance, the use of dirty containers to cook or serve foods can bring about contamination, which can lead to diarrhea, vomiting, and other illnesses. It is better to avoid this by applying important measures to eat clean and healthy rather than be careless about it and spend too much money treating an illness.
Subsequently, Personal Hygiene in Food Safety is very important in keeping foods safe for eating. Eating a clean food will make it healthy for eating as it prevents germs from having close contact with it.
To ensure that you abide by the food safety rule you have to wash your hands with water and soap before touching any foods especially after using the toilet or coming back from outside. Also it is advisable that you keep your nails clean, where cling clothes or apron over your dress, cover your hair so as to avoid strands from falling into the food, cover your mouth while coughing or sneezing to avoid bacteria,washin all foodstuffs and fruits before eating with clean water.
Doing this regularly would ensure that your eating habits are clean and safe.
