Worldwide Food Service Safety Month
On Worldwide Food Service Safety Month
Making sure that the food you’re eating is not only healthy, but safe, is what Food Service Safety Month is all about. From proper food preparation when cooking at home, to going out to eat at a public place, keeping yourself aware about food safety precautions can help you avoid the mishaps of food poisoning, unsafe hygienic practices, and overall food quality. With upcoming feasts for the holidays, it’s time to stay updated on your food safety efforts.
Why Food Service Safety Month?
The food service industry has been a staple of our lives for many years, as well as a booming business. Back in 2010, nearly 77% of sales came from fast food and full-service restaurants. Such places are required to have a hygiene certificate. This makes sure that the location where food is prepared keeps up high cleanliness levels.
However, food safety isn’t just limited to the café you may dine at during lunch. Any prepared foodstuff, such as microwaved dinners from your grocery store’s frozen section, needs to meet up to the qualities of food safety. The environments from food manufacturers where such items are prepared are also required to keep up their hygiene practices. This means surfaces are always washed, utensils are washed and separated, and the general environment is made up to standards. These practices are mainly enforced by the FDA, or Food and Drug Administration, which employs regulations that companies must abide by.
Food Safety at Home
The same can be practiced in your own kitchen, which is another goal of Food Service Safety Month. For example, foods such as chicken and fish must usually be cooked to a certain temperature before being served. Otherwise, leftover bacteria remains and can risk the person eating it becoming ill. And of course, always wash your hands before and after handling food. Make sure to also get into the habit of cleaning your kitchen area after every meal. So don’t let those dishes sit in the sink for days on end!
Standard Safety in the Supplement Category
When you’re out grocery shopping, you want to trust that your food has been assessed to the highest of food safety standards and quality. The FDA’s regulations ensure this – but it’s not only restricted to food. Cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, as well as nutritional supplements also follow safety standards for their products.
