FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Personal hygiene is important to prevent food poisoning. When handling food, wash your hands thoroughly and often. If you are sick, do not go to work, because you can contaminate food more easily.

Detailed explanation-2: -Poor food safety practices in the home increase the risk of food poisoning. Whilst for most people this usually results in sickness and diarrhoea, it can lead to much more serious illness for those who may be more vulnerable to infection including the very young, older people and pregnant women.

Detailed explanation-3: -Microbes can be transferred from one food to another by using the same knife, cutting board or other utensil without washing the surface or utensil in between uses. A food that is fully cooked can become re-contaminated if it touches other raw foods or drippings from raw foods that contain pathogens.

Detailed explanation-4: -As well as having negative social affects, poor hygiene and hand washing causes health problems. Poor hygiene can cause sickness and disease. Poor hygiene can also cause social rejection and may also lead to bullying, low confidence and low self-esteem.
