How To Prevent Foodborne Illnesses

Guide For Washing Food

Properly washing food is another important factor to take into consideration, which is why it is beneficial to research and develop a guide for washing food. Typically, washing raw meat is not recommended because it can promote cross-contamination to utensils and surfaces, and this is also true for eggs. However, it is recommended to wash produce with water to remove excess dirt, which can harbor bacteria. With certain foods, such as potatoes, you can also use a brush to help remove the dirt. Lastly, it is not recommended to use any type of soap on produce because they can leave behind harmful residue you don't want to consume.
