Detailed explanation-1: -Pathogens can be introduced into food from infected humans who handle the food without thoroughly washing their hands. These pathogens are thus transferred from trace amounts of fecal matter present on hands to the food. Hand Hygiene: Wash Your Hands!
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: -For example, not washing your hands after you use the toilet, handle food, or touch dirty surfaces can spread bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These can lead to infections and diseases, like food poisoning, gastroenteritis, cold and flu, and hepatitis A-just to name a few.
