Food Safety

Fruits and Vegetables

Keep your potatoes safe. Store them in a dark place to avoid greening. To maximize the freshness, refrigerate all types of sprouts. Thoroughly wash all ready to eat fruit and vegetables before eating.

Refrigerator Storage

For food safety, store meat & poultry in the bottom shelf of the refrigerator until ready to cook on the same day. Refrigerate all products containing fresh cream. When storing foods, always start clearing cold and frozen items in your groceries purchases before cans and dry products. After opening a UHT milk pack, remember to keep it in the refrigerator. To maintain quality and freshness, refrigerate baby foods after opening and store in a jar or plastic container.

Meat, Fish & Poultry

To avoid cross contamination never put cooked food on unwashed plates or cutting boards that have contained raw meat or fish. Cook all poultry until juices runs clear and there is no pink flesh. Keep fresh fish well covered in the refrigerator to prevent it coming into contact with other foods.

Handling Frozen / Thawed Items

Always thaw meat and poultry in the refrigerator or the microwave. To keep your food safe, never refreeze thawed food you have previously frozen, or freeze food that has been thawed for your convenience.

Dry Goods Storage

Avoid storing food in cabinets that are under the sink or have water, drain and heating pipes passing through them. Food stored here can attract insects and rodents through openings that are difficult to seal properly.
Wash the tops of cans with soap and water before opening.

Personal Hygiene

For effective hygiene and sanitation, paper towels are recommended for hand drying and to clean kitchen surfaces and spills. Remember to wash your hands with soap and water, after handling raw foods.

Food Storage Practices (Airtight containers/bags)

After opening a can product, maintain quality and freshness by storing in a plastic or glass container in the refrigerator. Always follow the storage directions of cans as recommended by manufacturers. To prolong freshness, store bakery products in a dry airtight container. If freezing any foods, use an airtight bag to preserve quality.
Store dry goods (like flour and sugar) in an airtight container to prevent pest contamination.

Safety Precautions

Keep poisons on a high shelf or in a locked cupboard and keep them out of reach of the children.
