Cheap Talk.

Food looks fresh, no problem
Good enough to eat. Not really, food poisoning can kill.
Personnel hygiene, handlers hygiene,
Container must be washed clean which means bacteria destroyed and no food sticking on the side. Washing the back-side after poo-poo does not mean i am a clean person, and
those who do with paper are dirty. The soap used must be able to remove the poo from the skin and kill the bacteria which poison the food. The toilet door can contaminate
your hand, the air around us filled with bacteria. Our skins are filled with bacteria, the surface of everything around are filled with bacteria. Leaving the cooked or raw food in room temp.encourage the growth of bacteria. Do no keep the cooked food in the chiller for more then at the most 2 days, Cover the cooked and raw food. place cooked food above raw food.
throw away after the 2nd day. Do not defrost frozen food in room temp. best in micro-wave
or in the chiller. Use the right soap and wash your hand twice with soap after toilet, and before food preparation.....Save medical bill, no harm practicing good hygiene........
