Detailed explanation-1: -Inadequate cooking is a common cause of food poisoning. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked foods, such as from hands, chopping boards or utensils, can also cause food poisoning. Most foods, especially meat, poultry, fish and eggs, should be cooked thoroughly to kill most types of food poisoning bacteria.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keep it hot for two minutes Food should be heated to an internal temperature of 70°C (158°F) and it must stay at this temperature for at least two minutes. Cooking causes the proteins in any bacteria to break up and the germs start to die at around 60°C (140°F).
Detailed explanation-3: -Information. Proper heating and reheating will kill foodborne bacteria. However, some foodborne bacteria produce poisons or toxins that are not destroyed by high cooking temperatures if the food is left out at room temperature for an extended period of time.
