Food Hygiene At Home

Food Standards Agency

Good food hygiene is essential to make sure that the food you cook is safe to eat. When cooking, you need to introduce ways of working that will help you ensure hygiene standards are right from the start.

The four main areas to remember for good food hygiene are the 4Cs:

  • cleaning
  • cooking
  • chilling
  • cross-contamination

Check out the drop-down articles on the right-hand side to explore each 'C' in further detail!
