Preparing Food Safely

• Wash your hands with soap and water.

• Make sure working areas and surfaces, utensils and plates are also clean.

• Use separate cutting or chopping boards for meats and for fruits/vegetables. Avoid putting cooked food on cutting boards that have touched raw food.

• Avoid wiping your hands that have touched raw food with dish towels.

• Keep raw food away from vegetables and side dishes that will not be cooked.
