Bacterial food poisoning could be prevented most of the time if we follow the "Three Principles for food poisoning prevention" below:
1. Cleanliness (Prevention of bacteria)
(1) Firstly, food itself has to be clean. It is important to select temperature-controlled food and keep it in a separate container from others.
(2) Cookware such as cutting boards/kitchen knives must be clean as well. It is important to make it custom to wash and sterilize them.
(3) There are a lot of germs on your hands and between fingers, so wash your hands well before cooking.
2. Promptly (Don't grow bacteria)
(1) No matter how much you prevent to get bacteria on your food, it is very difficult to make it sterile. Before bacteria grow, cook fast and don't leave it long. It is important to eat as soon as possible.
3. Heat and Chill (Kill bacteria or don't grow them)
(1) Most of germs die when heated to 75.1 degree or higher for more than one minute. Therefore, be sure to heat thoroughly so that the food is cooked to the center.
(2) Bacteria can't grow easily at low temperatures. Therefore, please keep food at less than 10 degree.
