Preventing Bacteria in the Kitchen
Ways to avoid Food Related Illnesses: Making your kitchen safer can help.
Cold temperatures slow growth of many harmful bacteria. Set your refrigerator to maintain a temperature of 40 degrees of lower. Your freezer should be set at zero degrees or below.
Use two cutting boards. One for raw meats, poultry and seafood; the other for ready-to-eat food. Wash the boards in warm, soapy water or rinse well and put them in the dishwasher after each use.
Also Avoid using a wooden cutting board for Meats, chicken, and fish. A plastic cutting board will absorb less bacteria then a wooden one and will be easier to clean and keep bacteria free.
Disinfect sponges in a chlorine bleach solution.
