Home hygiene
This page provides information and advice about food hygiene in your home.
Bacteria are all around us, on and in our bodies.
Most of them are helpful or harmless, but some cause food poisoning.
It is now recognized that food prepared at home is responsible for many cases of food poisoning.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has information on hygiene in the home: Keeping Food Safe (NHS website).
Play the FSA games (FSA website) about healthy eating and food safety and test your knowledge with the quizzes (FSA website) on food related issues.
