“There is a misconception that spoiled food smells and looks bad because it is easily understood. However, not every spoiled food looks or smells bad. Because bacteria are invisible to the naked eye, this can cause food poisoning. In addition, some people think that undercooked eggs are both tastier and healthier. However, even if it tastes delicious to you, the egg white and yolk must be well cooked so that it does not cause poisoning. Another misconception like this is that it is healthy to cook the meat a little and then continue to barbecue it… However, cooking meat like this can cause bacteria to multiply rapidly and then poisoning.

In order to prevent food poisoning, the fruits should be washed thoroughly with the help of water and a brush, and the vegetables should be kept in a container full of water and consumed after making sure that they are thoroughly cleaned. It is necessary to use the same kitchen tools and utensils with meals made at the same time. For example; It is not right to cut a different food on a raw meat cut board without washing it well. After each operation, kitchen tools and utensils should be cleaned thoroughly.
