Food poisoning becomes more common in summer because warm temperatures promote bacterial growth. To stay safe, it is important to handle food carefully from preparation to storage.
One of the simplest and most crucial actions you can take to prevent food poisoning is to wash your hands before and after touching food. This helps stop germs from spreading to food, surfaces, and other people.
Fruits and vegetables should always be washed before eating. It is also a good idea to check food before consuming it. If milk smells sour, food has mold on it, or something seems unusual, ask an adult before eating it.
Cooking food thoroughly is just as important. Meat, especially chicken, should never be pink in the middle. Leftovers should also be reheated completely because heat can kill harmful bacteria.
After meals, cover leftover food and refrigerate it as soon as possible. Food that sits out too long can become unsafe to eat. These easy practices can help maintain the safety of summer meals."
