Sunny days create the perfect conditions for bacteria to grow, but there are some quick and easy ways to Beat the Bugs:

  • Keep hot food hot and cold food cold until you are ready to eat them. It is important to remember to keep foods that contain cream, meat, poultry and food containing raw eggs chilled.
  • Try to keep the food out of the fridge for the shortest time possible
  • Use a cool box or bag to keep food chilled until you are ready to eat it
  • Always try to wash your hands before eating, or use antiseptic hand wipes
  • Keep food covered whenever possible to protect it from insects, birds and pests that can carry bacteria
  • Wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly
