To help reduce the risk of food poisoning when eating out, some tips include avoiding raw food or lightly cooked food from street vendors, ensuring that your drink contains no ice and asking questions about potential allergens in the dish. It is also important to minimize contact of your own utensils and plates with uncooked meat or fish and avoid sharing these with other diners. When washing your hands it is crucial to use soap for at least 20 seconds, which is double the average time that most people wash for. Lastly it is important not to consume any bottled beverages that have not been stored appropriately as this can lead to contamination.
