Clean, separate, cook, chill — four kitchen habits that lower the chance of food poisoning.
Four everyday kitchen habits lower the chance of food poisoning: clean hands and surfaces, keep raw meat apart from ready-to-eat food, cook food until it is safely hot, and refrigerate perishable food promptly.
The protocol
| Cook | cook food to the safe internal temperature for that food, using a food thermometer, so that germs are killed |
| Chill | refrigerate perishable food and cooked leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour if it has been above 90°F (32°C), for example in a hot car or at a picnic |
| Clean | wash hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water before, during and after preparing food; wash utensils, cutting boards and counters with hot soapy water after each food item |
| Duration | ongoing |
| Separate | use one cutting board or plate for raw meat, poultry and seafood and another for produce, bread and foods that will not be cooked |
Skip this if
- people aged 65 and older, children under 5, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant women are at higher risk of food poisoning — follow the CDC's safer food choices guidance for their group and ask a clinician about specific foods to avoid
- severe or lasting vomiting, diarrhoea or fever after a meal needs medical advice
