I received a food hygiene booklet with a free book l bought so I thought I would share some information with you all, the main reasons for food poisoning are listed below and it is easy enough to prevent poisoning yourself.
1. Food prepared too early in advance and stored at room temperature.
2. Cooling food too slowly prior to refrigeration.
3. Not reheating food to high enough temperatures to destroy bacteria.
4. The use of cooked food contaminated with food poisoning bacteria.
5. Undercooking.
6. Not thawing frozen poultry for sufficient time.
7. Cross contamination from raw food to high risk foods.
8. The consumption of raw food such as shellfish, eggs or milk.
9. Storing hot food below 63*C.
10. Infected food handlers.
