Cure Food Poisoning

Contaminated food can cause havoc to little tummies, sometimes causing death. The mass food poisoning as a result of drinking formula milk contaminated with melamine in China last September made more than 50,000 infants sick, killing four of them. While it’s sometimes impossible to know what is inside food sold commercially, it is easy to ensure food safety in the home.

Safe Food Principles

In the article entitled “Safety First” that appeared in the January 2008 issue of Practical Parenting, Australia’s leading parenting magazine, dietitian Karen Kingham stresses the importance of cleanliness and temperature. Cleanliness prevents germs from contaminating food while the correct temperature prevents them from increasing to numbers that can be harmful.

“This means keeping hot food steaming hot and cold food at less than 5°C; separating raw foods from ready-to-eat foods, cleaning kitchen utensils and benches well and washing hands with soap and drying them thoroughly before handling food,” Kingham explains.
