Delay in storing leftovers

Leftover food must be stored within two hours, otherwise the risk of spreading disease-causing bacteria is greatly increased. There is no need to wait for food to cool down: it is much better to store food immediately than to leave it lying on the kitchen table for hours. Similarly, it is important not to leave leftovers in the fridge for more than four days.

Defrosting meat the wrong way

Defrosting meat by simply leaving it out of the fridge is very dangerous, because bacteria can multiply rapidly at room temperature. Meat taken out of the freezer should be placed in the refrigerator or possibly in the microwave if you are in a hurry.

Do not wash hands

Not washing hands exposes you to the risk of contaminating food with bacteria that can cause even serious illnesses. Bacteria can settle not only on food, but also on surfaces and people, which in turn can transfer them to food. Especially when handling raw meat, it is essential to wash your hands with soap and lukewarm water for at least 20 seconds to reduce the risk of contaminating food.

Eating risky foods if you have a fragile immune system

Certain categories of people are at greater risk of contamination and for this reason should avoid eating certain foods, such as meat with egg on it. In particular, children under the age of 5 and the elderly over the age of 65, as well as those who have a fragile immune system or suffer from food-borne diseases, should take extra care.

Wash the chicken in the sink

Chicken and raw meat in general should never be washed in the sink, because the spray from the tap could spread dangerous bacteria. Moreover, washing chicken does not remove any pathogenic bacteria. However, bacteria such as campylobacter, clostridium perfringens and salmonella are killed by the high temperature when they are cooked in the oven, so there is no risk of contracting them. Fruit and vegetables, on the other hand, can be rinsed in the sink.
