For the records, Food Safety refers to any process and practice that ensure that food is safe for consumption (free from pathogens, chemicals and anything that can risk the consumer’s health). With that well defined, we should perhaps state some facts:

Now see what WHO has said concerning this (I want to paraphrase). They said that small factors are responsible for the many foodborne diseases that round the world. Hmm, this means that, if these small number of factors are taken care of, then most, I repeat, most of the food borne diseases will disappear. You get it right?

Oya, you are asking what these factors are, I’ll show you what the #WorldHealthOrganization has said.

According to #WHO these factors are:

• preparation of food several hours prior to consumption, combined with its storage at temperatures which favour growth of pathogenic bacteria and/or formation of toxins;
• insufficient cooking or reheating of food to reduce or eliminate pathogens;
• cross contamination; and
• people with poor personal hygiene handling the food.

Now we are looking for a solution right?
Here is what WHO calls the “ TEN GOLDEN RULES” for food preparation. They are:

1. Choose foods processed for safety
2. Cook foods thoroughly
3. Eat cooked foods immediately
4. Store cooked foods carefully
5. Reheat cooked foods thoroughly
6. Avoid contacts between raw foods and cooked foods
7. Wash hands repeatedly
8. Keep all kitchen surfaces meticulously clean
9. Protect foods from insects, rodents and other animals
10. Use safe water
