Food Hygiene, also known as Food Safety, can be defined as the processing, preparation and storage of food or beverages in a way that best reduces the risk of consumers getting sick from foodborne illnesses.
Food safety principles aim to prevent food from becoming contaminated and causing food poisoning.
With this in mind, ensuring that food is safe for human consumption is probably the most critical part of the food preparation process. This ranges from farm to fork, that is, from farms to your plate.
This means that food hygiene is as important at home as it is in the restaurant, retail store or food factory.
There is a growing awareness of the public about food safety, and news agencies are reporting on food recalls and outbreaks more often.
Reviewing current statistics, the CDC estimates that 48 million people fall ill from a foodborne illness each year, 128.000 are hospitalized, and 3.000 die from food poisoning.
Cross-contamination is a major cause of food poisoning and can transfer bacteria from one food to another (usually from raw food to ready-to-eat food).
It is very important to be aware of how it spreads so you know how to prevent it.
Therefore, good food hygiene is essential for food factories to produce and sell food that is safe to eat. The first step is for management and staff to have knowledge and understanding of what food hygiene and food safety is.
