An important way to prevent food contamination is to maintain a high standard of personal hygiene and cleanliness.
Even healthy people carry food poisoning bacteria on their bodies. By touching parts of your body, such as your nose, mouth, hair, or your clothes you can spread bacteria from your hands to the food.
Good personal hygiene also makes good business sense. Customers like to see food handling staff who take hygiene seriously and practice safe food handling.
Put yourself in their place and watch how your workmates handle food. Would you want to eat at, or buy food from, your business?
Wash your hands thoroughly
Washing your hands thoroughly is a good way to reduce the chance of contaminating food with bacteria.
Wash your hands with soap and warm water and don’t forget the backs of your hands, wrists, between your fingers and under your fingernails.
Thoroughly dry your hands immediately after you wash them. Always dry your hands with a clean towel, disposable paper towel or under an air dryer, not on a tea towel and never on your clothes.
Wash your hands after:
• going to the toilet
• handling raw food
• blowing your nose
• handling garbage
• touching your ears, nose, mouth or other parts of the body
• smoking
• every break
• handling animals.
If you are wearing disposable gloves change them regularly, in the same way you would wash your hands regularly if not wearing gloves. Wash and dry your hands before putting on gloves.
