Food safety rules

Today, the Lviv Regional Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine continues to talk about food safety rules.

Rule 2 - Separate the raw from the ready

To avoid so-called cross-contamination, separate raw meat, poultry, fish and seafood from other foods and prepared meals.

· For processing raw meat and fish, use separate kitchen utensils (knives, boards) than for processing other products. Thoroughly wash and dry dishes that have contained raw food before placing other food in them.

· Store foods in closed containers to prevent contact between raw and prepared foods.

· In the refrigerator, raw seafood and meat should be placed lower than vegetables, fruits and ready meals.
