One hygiene issue is to wash your hands thoroughly before handling food items or before entering the kitchen. This can prevent biological hazards by introducing bacteria to raw foods and this can inhibit growth of pathogens. If one does not wash his hands properly before entering the kitchen, he may increase the risk of food poisoning. To ensure proper hygiene one should wash his hand regularly and thoroughly before handling food, after visiting the washroom, in between handling of raw and cooked food and after handling waste food. In addition, one should wash his hand in warm water (45 to 49°C) with non-perfumed liquid soap, then dry properly with a paper towel.
The rationale of good personal hygiene is to prevent the direct contamination of food by carrying out certain measures. Some measures are washing hands regularly, having clean hands with short fingernails, ensuring that one does not wear personal jewellery and to be dressed in proper kitchen attire. Furthermore, uninfected wounds should be completely covered with detectable (green or blue) water proof plasters.To maintain personal hygiene, one should not open bags or pick up sheets of wrapping paper with wet fingers, pick his nose while handling food in the kitchen, taste foods with an unwashed spoon, scratch his head, and cough on to hands and handle food without washing of hands.

ReplyDeleteIt is a good habit and good personal hygiene by washing hand before starting all the work in the kitchen. Hands carry many bacteria. If handling food without clean hand, the bacteria on the surface of hand will spread or transfer to the food and lead to cross contamination. This may lead to food poisioning also. keep this good habit.
