Kitchen Area
Hygienically
Maintaining a clean work environment
is critical in preventing foodborne illness.
Bacteria can grow on unsanitary surfaces
and then contaminate food. Just because
a work surface looks clean does not
mean that it is sanitary. Always ensure
that you clean and sanitize a work area
before starting to prepare food.
The kitchen is one of the most popular rooms
in a house, so it's important to keep this room
clean and safe for friends and family. The best
way to keep your kitchen clean is to make a
habit of cleaning up as you work, and taking
care of a few chores each day so that messes
don't pile up. Keeping your kitchen safe involves
many different things, including practicing good
hygiene, proper food handling practices, and
being safe while cooking and using kitchen
tools.

the kitchen includes washing
vegetables and fruits to remove harmful

the foods. If you usually obtain bargain
food from the “a truck back” or
regularly eat at establishments that are
not licensed, you could be courting
trouble.
