1. • If food or drink is not safe to eat, you cannot eat or drink. The easiest example of this is safe drinking water. We would never drink water that did not come from a reputable source. The very same principle applies to food.
2. • Every day, people worldwide get sick from the food or drink they consume. Bacteria, viruses and parasites found in food can cause food poisoning. Food hygiene and safety prevent germs from multiplying in foods and reaching dangerous levels.
3. • There is no immediate way of telling if food is contaminated because you cannot see, taste or smell anything different from the norm. if we maintain food hygiene, It minimizes the rate at which one can contact food poisoning.
4. • Food poisoning can lead to gastroenteritis and dehydration or potentially even more serious health problems such as kidney failure and death. Since it is an important to maintain personal hygiene practice, it helps minimize and prevent the spread of bacteria on foods and on kitchen tools.
5. • This risk is especially significant for those in the high- risk category: Small children/ babies, pregnant moms, the elderly and immunocompromised, especially HIV infections and cancer patients. Food hygiene and safety prevent germs from multiplying in foods and reaching dangerous levels.
6. • Ready to eat foods are advice to be chilled in the fridge; by keeping such food in the fridge, bacteria are not allowed to grow on them. Such foods include salad, yoghurt, milk and deserts.
7. • Ensures daily healthy family living. It keeps one healthy and prevents extra cost of buying drugs and medical check-up.
8. • Keeping one healthy and preventing the additional cost of buying medication and medical check-ups. This is especially important in business. Companies worldwide lose Billions of Dollars per year due to staff downtime.
9. • Hand washing accounts for 33% of all related food poisoning cases. It is therefore important to maintain good personal hygiene practice. This is something we are taught early in our childhood, yet hand washing is still a critical problem in the kitchen
10. • Food safety and proper hygiene on business wise is also very necessary especially when dealing with public consumers, by practicing good hygiene, it goes a long way in protecting consumers health and they tend to develop confidence regarding your products and foods. When they have develop confidence in the food you are providing for the them, they keep coming back to you and your business certainly will have a good reputation and longer life span.
