Clean!

       Foodborne bacteria can be hiding just about anywhere.  The bacteria can multiply as you saw in the video and can make you sick!  To prevent this, you need to:

• Wash your hands with soap and warm water often!
• Rinse fruits and vegetables with tap water before you eat them.
• Wash your hands before you make a snack, after playing with pets, and after using the bathroom.
• Always use clean knives, forks, plates, and spoons.
• Always use a clean plate.  Cooked foods should not be placed on the same plate that held raw meat, poultry or fish.
• Only put food on clean surfaces.  Never put your food on a dirty table.
• Put your bookbag on the floor- not on the kitchen table or counters.
