Food Safety Tips
If you’ve ever been a victim of food poisoning, you know the importance of food safety. Every step of the process, from preparing a meal to saving leftovers, could be a potential breeding ground for dangerous bacteria.
Food Preparation
The first place to take action is in food preparation. Sometimes the growth of bad bacteria may begin before any food has even been cut or cooked.

After the Meal
Following food safety practices after a meal may be just as important as prevention during food preparation. By making sure that your leftovers are properly preserved, you can minimize your risk for food poisoning.

Food Poisoning
Not all food poisoning leads to serious symptoms. A mild case may result in nausea or diarrhea, and you may fully recover within a couple of days. To ensure a steady recovery, drink lots of clear, non-carbonated fluids, don’t use antacids, and don’t make yourself vomit. As you feel your body begin to grow stronger, reintroduce bland foods into your diet, as spicy or greasy foods may slow the recovery process.
Severe food poisoning may be fatal if you don’t recognize the signs and take action. If you, or someone you care about, show symptoms of severe food poisoning, contact your healthcare professional immediately.
