  some tips to help you lower your chances of getting food poisoning at home.
  Please wash your hands.
  Wash and dry
  your hands thoroughly with soap and water (warm or cold):
  - Before to touching food
  - After working with raw foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and veggies
  - After touching the garbage can, going to the toilet, blowing your nose, or interacting with animals (including pets)
  Work surfaces, knives, and utensils
  should all be washed.
  surfaces, knives, and utensils should be washed before and after food
  preparation, especially if they have been handled by raw meat (including
  chicken), raw eggs, fish, or vegetables.
  There is no
  need to use antibacterial sprays; hot, soapy water will suffice.
  Dishcloths should be washed.
  and tea towels should be washed and dried on a regular basis. Germs thrive in
  filthy, moist textiles.
  Separate chopping boards should be
  foods, such as meat and fish, on a separate chopping board. This is done to
  avoid contaminating ready-to-eat foods with potentially hazardous bacteria that
  can be present in raw food before it is cooked.
  Separate raw meat from cooked meat.
  especially critical to keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat meals like
  salad, fruit, and bread.
  these meals will not be cooked before consumption, any bacteria that may have
  gotten onto them from raw meat will not be destroyed.
  Raw meat should be kept on the bottom
  raw meat covered and on the lowest shelf of the refrigerator, where it cannot
  contact or drip on other foods.
  Cook your food thoroughly.
  poultry, pork, burgers, sausages, and kebabs are cooked until boiling hot and
  no pink meat remains on the inside. Washing raw meat (including chicken and
  turkey) before cooking might spread bacteria throughout your kitchen.
  freezing raw chicken reduces the number of campylobacter germs, it does not
  entirely remove them. Cooking chicken thoroughly is the safest technique to
  eliminate all residues of campylobacter.
  Keep your refrigerator at or below 5
  Use a fridge
  thermometer to keep your fridge temperature below 5 degrees Celsius. This keeps
  hazardous bacteria from multiplying and proliferating.
  overfilling your refrigerator; if it's too full, air can't circulate properly,
  affecting the overall temperature.
  the fridge door open unless absolutely necessary.
  Quickly cool any
  If you're not intending to eat cooked food right away, chill
  it as soon as possible (within 90 minutes) and keep it in the fridge or
  Use any leftovers from the fridge within 2 days and only
  reheat food once.
  Keep 'use-by dates in
  Eat food that has passed its expiration date, even if it
  appears and smells OK. Use-by dates are determined by scientific studies that
  demonstrate how quickly hazardous germs can emerge in packaged food.
