Food standards. Food safety training.

 The FSA Food standards agency has launched a new campaign that reminds people to wash raw vegetables. This can help reduce the risk of food poisoning. The campaign is because of a E.coli outbreak that has contamnited our soil.

The campaign messages include:

• always wash hands thoroughly before and after handling raw food, including vegetables
• keep raw foods, including vegetables, separate from ready-to-eat foods
• use different chopping boards, knives and utensils for raw and ready-to-eat foods, or wash thoroughly in between preparing different foods
• unless packaging around vegetables says ‘ready-to-eat’ you must wash, peel or cook them before consuming

If you work with food, you have to strongly understand food safety. You can check out different food courses here: http://www.blaketraining.co.uk/food-courses
