What is food hygiene​

Food hygiene is important for the following reasons:

If food or drink is not safe to eat, you cannot eat or drink. The easiest example of this is safe drinking water. We would never drink water that did not come from a reputable source. The very same principle applies to food.

Every day, people worldwide get sick from the food or drink they consume. Bacteria, viruses and parasites found in food can cause food poisoning.

There is no immediate way of telling if food is contaminated because you cannot see, taste or smell anything different from the norm.

Food poisoning can lead to gastroenteritis and dehydration or potentially even more serious health problems such as kidney failure and death.

This risk is especially significant for those in the high-risk category: Small children/ babies, pregnant moms, the elderly and immunocompromised, especially HIV infections and cancer patients.

Food hygiene and safety prevent germs from multiplying in foods and reaching dangerous levels.
